I don't know if this helps or what you need, but I was having a hard time reaching the brakes even on my WSD Ruby. The brakes are placed "higher" up so I could sit a little more upright, too. I took it in to the LBS to get the brakes lowered to see if my reach would be better but instead got spacers placed in between the hoods and the brakes and now my reach is ever so much better! I can actually place my hand around the brakes without stretching!!

Maybe this is a simpler (and cheaper solution:$9.95)?
