I'm afraid to do that to mine, but it is not a bad idea to be honest...

I have had acouple friends do the switch and love it. I'd imagine it would suck if you ride multiple bikes that aren't set up the same way though.

See, I will have another one sometime this summer.

Could you do a write up for me? I might want to try it for a little bit, I haven't been scraping as the roads around here are angled well, but I would like to try it at least.

Actually, based on what you took. I think I understand it. Flip the shifter attachment so it is above instead of below, and at an angle at little towards the peddle. Doesn't look too hard.

Yeah it was pretty easy on mine, apparently it can be difficult on different bikes. I know my buddy had to buy a kit.

Never mind. My attachment arm at the little gears is angled so you can't swing it around. Why you ask? Idk. Probably so I have to buy something to change it. Hmm.
