Some responses:
confused:
Try getting an extended heel shifter and run it almost as low as the floorboard. Just slide your heel back and shift. Barley have to lift my heel.
-> I may try that, but I like having nothing at all behind my heel.
mkguitar:
with the stock heel/toe the 2 shifters balance each other. I'd worry about the extra weight bias to the front wearing the shifter linkage... get enough mass and you can downshift by tapping the brakes.
even my Honda Trail 90 has a heel/toe. I'm used to it.

-> Hadn't thought of that, but I don't think it will be an issue. I used the heel-toe for about a month and just didn't like it.

Are you handicapped ?
-> Yup. I have a pathological indifference to whether others approve of what I do to my bike.

Well if thats not the case, then why get on a public forum and "pat yourself on the back" for being such a genius, then get upset when everyone else thinks it's stupid?
