I would like to hear more from anyone who has done this. I currently have one set of these shims, and it isn't enough. I've been thinking of getting a woman's bar due to brake reach problems, but would prefer the cost of this double-shim solution, if it works. Guess I'm concerned about slippage, security, adjusting cables to work with the extra shim distance, etc.Originally Posted by brok
I use the shims from Specialized, actually my hands are so small that I have mine double shimmed ( is that a word). Anyway, my hands are much happier and I have better control of the brakes. I ordered mine directly from Specialized.
Anyone?

I've read through all the linked threads and looked at the Specialized shims, but it looks like they are suitable for Ultegra's and 105's. Has anyone fitted them to DuraAce?
