i'm going to try and avoid as much complication as possible stick with parts that are "meant" to work together on this. keep my tinker time to a necessary minimum (famous last words) <<<fingers crossed>>>
Thanks!
My hands are built about like yours- I usually take a medium glove, but the fingers are always too long. The Command Shifters are perfect for me- I usually never ride in the drops- unless heading into the wind. I can shift from the tops, the ramps, the hoods... it's just reaching up and pushing or pulling- if you can't reach the paddle to push it, reach to the other side and pull. This is with B177 bars- with long ramps. I got most of my Command Shifters from a guy that was selling them NOS $60-$90 in the boxes a few years ago.
