It’s hard to tell online. So just a heads up before you spend money. I’m 5’6 and a small to medium hand glove size, and I need 2 inches in on them.

yes lever position, etc. Nothing helped. I think because they are a cheaper line from microshift? Not sure why they only make them in giant human size. Very sad.
All current levers by Shimano and SRAM have reach adjustment. Also handlebar bends with a deeper "belly" help bring the hand closer to the levers.
