Causing vauge and/or missed shifts. They are right. If you take the shift arm off the shaft and try to move it laterally,on most bikes,you'll find that it moves very easily. Like I said previously,it's very simple but VERY effective! BTW,they don't make one for your bike.
So if it essentially transforms the shift shaft from a cantilevered beam to a simply supported beam (two points), that thing fucking better have a bearing pressed into it. I assume it does? If so that's a great idea and a good investment.
