I think my thumbs would be about a size 6. So, small weak hands plus smallish Michelin tires and possibly biggish rims means Sara needs help with her tires!!!
OK, girl. My ring finger is a 5, my middle finger is not quite 3" long (despite all the exercise it gets
), and I can barely reach my brakes despite shims. You can change your tires!!!
(Get the right tire/rim combo, though.)
