Hi guys,

I just got my first road bike. Not the best bike, I have the CCM Presto (reference: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en)

So the problem is when I'm riding from the hood, it's extremely uncomfortable to brake. It actually takes so much effort that it hurts my fingers. I've tried to fit the bike myself since I bought it used, so either I fit it wrongly or the brakes are too tight? Is it possible to move the brake levers closer to the handle so I don't have to use so much force? After a day of biking my hand was pretty numb and my fingers hurt from braking that I spent the rest of the time in the drops.

Any suggestions on what to try would be greatly appreciated.
