That's nice, that. Not all that many people do one-offs in titanium... Course, mine is aluminium so probably about half the weight, but still, it's nice.

Has anyone fitted a shorter lever? How much toe effort with less leverage does it take (apparent, I understand the physics ;) )? I always ride with my toes on the pegs and find the lever a large reach away, especially left handers, I like to avoisd the toe-tarmac interface.

Step 1: Lowside bike

Step 2: pick bike up

Step 3: fit a fixer-peg from davieSV wherever you want the toepeg to be.

One of the items in the Massive Lever Sale is a slightly shortened gear lever ;) But if you want to start from an unbroken one it's dead easy, just cut the end off to the length you want, drill and tap the lever for M8, put the bolt through the original rubber and bolt and threadlock into the lever, job done. I never noticed a big difference leverage wise, changing bear isn't a job for strength anyway, but I did occasionally find I got my foot in the wrong place for it on upshifts. Still, it worked fine.

If you want to do it Posh, the Woodcraft levers fit a standard SV rearset I think.

What size is the standard curvey change rod?

I seem to have misplaced mine due to an unforseen event :silent:
