Interesting tip on the epoxy, this is the same thing the shims do? My issue isn't with the reach of the brake levers though, its with how far the shift paddles have to be pushed to the side on Tiagra shifters.

Since I have a double front, is part of my issue because Tiagra is made to work with triples? I have more issues with the throw on the front shifts than the rear... This might be the same as Staarkhand's issues with the shifters too.
