2300 reach adjustment
Hi
Just bought my wife a Triban 3 for Xmas. All is well except she is struggling for reach to the break levers when on the drops. I understand that you can get a shim/spacer for the lever to bring them closer but I can't seem to find any online for 2300. Does anyone know where might supply them?
I assume that once the lever position is altered with the shim, some sort of adjustment is required for the cable tension?

Most bikes fitted with 2300 levers should have been supplied with shims. Call where you got the bike from, they might have a box of spares. Do it soon though, they are very different to the 2400 on New bikes.0

Thanks, that's all really helpful.0

If your a bit engineery, if that's a word, the hole at the top of the shifter where the shim pops into is a perfect size for an M5 thread. I tapped mine to M5 and used an Allen headed grub screw for adjustment of reach.... although its probably waaay simpler to use shims lol
