Heel/toe shifting?

Question

dontcha think its a lot faster just going toe shifter? i took the rear heel shifter off, more room now and faster too...how bout you?

Answer 1

Cant stand them I dont use them if they are on a bike just the front arm

Answer 2

That's all I've ever had.

Answer 3

I love heal toe! But I don't have one on my Yamaha or my Honda. But I do have one on my 4 wheeler and would love to try one on one of my bikes but then again it may look a little funny!?

Answer 4

I always take the heel shifter off my bikes, give me more room to move my foot around.

Answer 5

Sorry,  I prefer the conventional toe shifter.  Just used to it.

Answer 6

Heel - toe has one charm, you don't scuff the top of your alligator shoes. With heel - toe every shift is down.

Answer 7

Size 14 boots/shoes and heel-toe shifters don't mix.

Any cruiser I've ever had with one usually requires a replacement shifter or a hacksaw.

Answer 8

Heel/toe shifters are used mostly on bikes with floor boards.

Thick boots can get stuck between the shift lever and floor board.

Not a pleasurable experience.

Answer 9

If you're that lazy to not pick your boot up you need to be in a retirement home...

Answer 10

Only ever had one bike with a heel/toe. Hated it. I ground the heel bit off the lever.

Answer 11

I hate the heel shifter. All it does is confuse me. I am not such a chick that I worry about messing up my boots.
