Not too long ago, Priscilla received a set of the Bengal Brakes. The brakes work well, but since she’s got dainty little hands, she had a hard time grabbing the lever. I honestly thought that the levers were not adjustable. So sadly, Priscilla rode with a stock set up and at times having to struggle…
