The first bike I ever rode had a one piece heel-toe shifter and when I bought my RK it brought back old memories. So it is staying on the bike and i use it.
I usually use heel to shift into 2nd and 3rd after pulling away from a stop light,then continue with the toe from there.Lifting my foot from the ground and catching the heel on the way up to shift into 2nd then 3rd just seems natural.
I've often thought about adjusting it lower as some of ya here mentioned,gonna give that a try.
Also good knowing it's there as a another way to shift if my leg gets injured somehow. (been there,done that)
