Hmm. Are you a roadie or a mountainbiker (or have one of each?) On a mtb, there are often little screws right next to the brake lever that can alter the brake reach necessary. That might be able to help you to an extent, but not knowing your exact hand dimensions, I'm not sure how much.

My road bike has the little screws too, I couldn't reach the brakes either and my LBS mechanic said "well didn't you adjust the screws?"

He always assumes everyone knows everything. Then I needed to find a screwdriver small enough. As a newbie I know NOTHING except what I learn here and from Bicycling mag.So thanks everyone and keep the info coming
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
