    Hi peeps

    Am I right in thinking to change to a race shift pattern gear change I only need to replace my gear lever.

    I’m using Harris rearsets but they don’t do a race shift for the RR8 and upwards.

    anyone recommend a good quality gear lever if this is what will sort me out.

    You need a lever where the shift rod can mount to the other side of the pivot. Some have the option for both on them.

    I always thought that. I dont know if the shift rod will be at such an angle that it interferes with the sprocket cover or something?

    Good point ,,,, I've never tried it
    At a glance at the picture it looked the simplest way

    Yes... All you have to do is rotate it 180º. Did it mine.
    However, you will have to either remove the cover or cut it, since the rod will "occupy" roughly this area

    I ended up cutting by cover, and then made a rather "crappy" plastic welding with other pieces of plastic so I could have the cover on, but without an hole.
