No disrespect. But I'll personally be interested in seeing the reviews of those that have tried it.

It looks like a person would actually have to "heel hammer" it to me (have to hit it hard, and just right to shift properly). I could see a lot of missed gears, tranny damage, etc without some practice.

Just my opinion on leverage.

If you want a heel shifter with pegs it looks like it is the way to go. I took my heel shifter off right after I got the bike.

it's actually a pretty clean lookin set up.

i'd worry though that i'd be shifting up thru the gears just trying to rest my foot on the footpeg.

if the ball of your foot is on the peg, your heel would be resting on the heel shifter. seems too easy to click that thing down without meaning to.
