So I got my bike at lunch, and its awesome! What a huge upgrade.

A question though, I find the brake levers are in a rough spot for one finger braking, as they will squeeze into the knuckles of my middle fingers because the levers are so far to the outside of the bars. I like where the shifters are though.

Can I swap the brake levers to be outside the shifters? Is this ######ed? Then I would have room to have my whole hand on the bar and one finger brake if I want.

Other note. This bike looks HUGE in person. 23" Frame with 29" wheels, I now have the hummer in the bike cage. The bars are soooo wide on it too. I'm kind of nervous about riding through tight trees. I'm going to smoke one for sure while I get used to having my hands so wide.
