I'm a Continental GT owner looking to create a GP style shift pattern on my bike (one up, four down). I realized that the standard UCE bikes have a shift lever directly attached to the shaft instead of having the linkage that comes from the factory on the GT. My thought process is to order a shifter and attach it 180* from normal for your bikes so that it is within reach of my toes with the rear sets. So I have a couple questions:
What is the length of the shifter from the center of of the output shaft to the end of the shifter? Center to center measurements are fine too. Just trying to see if it will be where my toes need it to be.
Do you think the the shifter would clear the case that protrudes a little farther aft of the shaft?
I really appreciate your help here. I could just order one and see, but I'd rather have some insight from those who have one before I do.
