Being new to cycling, the only componentry I have had extended experience with are SRAM Rival that came on my road bike. Well...my cx bike came with a Ultegra/105 mix. The brifters are 105...and they just seem so big!!! I feel like my hands can't get low enough on the brake levers to squeeze them right.

Are the other Shimano brifters the same size? Will I have to switch derailleurs and brifters over to SRAM?

Any other small handed people?
