Now I'm really confused.

 

First time I've laughed all day

 

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.
Mike
-> 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.

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

 

Go on....you can admit it now, you're just messin' with us aren't you?

 

If my jockey shifter wouldn't get the bike to shift from hitting the brakes then the OP should be fine. I personally lift my whole foot up and stomp pretty hard on the shifter but I don't mind it. It's a nice idea as long as you don't accidentally knock it into a different gear.

 

Why not just unscrew the shifter and leave the arm... wont have anything behind your heel then

 

Regardless of whether or not you are indifferent, I appreciate the "out-of-the-box" thinking and the "f*** off" attitude. Freakin hero sh*t.

 

Post back in another month,

When you figure out why you won't like that position either...

 

Hell, I like it - if I had boards I'd have to try it.

Kudos to you for thinking up something different, and telling us about it.

And if you want to **** with somebody, just tell them you got two left feet.

 

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?
