Another thing you can try for free is to rotate the handlebars a little - most have a bit of "sweep" and you can choose the angle this is set at. It'll be somewhere between straight back and 45 degrees back/up, but even quite small changes can have a significant difference in feel.

Brake lever position, funnily enough, can also change how your hand naturally sits on the handlebars, which can affect comfort on the bike too.

Happy fettling!

Much appreciated! Il give all these little tips a try and see what works. My first challenge though is subtly bringing the bike into the lounge so I can work on it in the warm. Let’s see how that goes down with the other half, fingers crossed
