Cool I have always wanted to do but something else always takes president , like my leaking radiator :rollsmile:

i was just chatting to Luben , and he mentions i need to check how much of gear travel i actually need, incase i don't have enough of momentum to engage the next gear without effort

That seems like an o.k amount of money for that mod seeing that is it OEM,

I would not change my knob I like my "wooden" knob :rollsmile::rollsmile:

I rate you must do it man. Then once you have all sorted maybe we must do mine.

ok, i think i'm gonna get mine in the works, this mode does a 25% less shift distance, so i *think* it might be safe in terms of momentum


@DB you can keep your wooden Knob bru....
