This means all my weight is on the outer part of my palms. Problem is, there's a small casting under the top yoke to prevent accidental rotation. I'd have to cut off the casting (a small blob of alloy) to do this. I think this would relieve a lot of the wrist ache. Anyone done this, or have any thoughts?

isnt hter a screw undernesth each clip on that means you haveto have them at that angle.?... I mean near the tank side.. not hte main bolt that tightens it up-

if you change the angle etc.. will it not affect your turning and possible snag on the tank?
