I broke mine with the toe shifter stripped out and dropped down and I couldn't get the bolt loose(don't ask how). I now only have the toe shifter which is fine with me, since I don't personally like heel shifters. I take it out twice a year and apply never cease and clean the bore out also. Be sure to check the lever bolts each time you change the oil..
