My partner has small hands and limited flexibility in her wrists; she had fiddled around with a lot of
different set ups. Her bike is a small frame Cannondale T2000, what has worked best for her are
On-one Mary bars with grip shifters, Ergo grips and Tetkro brake levers (cannot recall which model) and salmon Koolstop pads on the canti brakes. She can ride comfortably with this set up for hrs at a time day after day. When she has to stop, she does easily.
