^^^ Thanks! Yes, CR or R are same. I can't adjust them optimally, even though they have reach and contact point adjustments. They are adult levers. He is eight and his hands are really small, even smaller than Trump's. With the reach adjusted in so he can get a finger or two on them (he needs two, little fingers aren't as strong as ours), the contact point is so close to the bar that the end pinches his other fingers when braking hard. Gloves or not doesn't matter. The way the end is angled out, if they are moved any farther inboard he would be grabbing the hook, and that is too far away. Also can't move them in farther because it's a tapered bar and bulges out in the middle. I considered a different bar, but the angled end problem still exists, and this bar/stem combo is just right otherwise. I think sawing off about 3/4" or 1", rounding it off, and adding grip tape might help.
(Worth a try maybe. Also possible I already fixed it by the bleed, and I did move them in a little after ditching the remote fork lockout to make more room. He hasn't really ridden it yet since then.)
In this pic yesterday he's got the rear brake covered but not the front, because it was going almost to the bar before I put new pads and bled it.
