Everyone,
I got a great new set of Size 12 boots for Christmas. They are the Oxtar Infinity Boots. Personally, I love these boots, they are comfortable and high quality.
My problem is that I am having trouble shifting with them. I have the R1 shift arm (great mod), and have adjusted the shifter rod for maximum throw. Between my big feet, the R1 arm, and the extended shifter rod, I miss some shifts. If feels like the internal shifter mechanism is not disengaging from the previous shift. The corrective action is to remove all upward pressure on the shifter with an exaggerated foot movement down.
In my adjustments, I've noticed that there are two hash marks on the plate adjacent to the shift. The shifter is adjusted such that it reaches the hash marks both up and down. I do not think it exceeds them, though it might while riding.
Anyone know what these hash marks are for, or if there is an adjustment I could make to get my shifts more consistent. I'm thinking of returning to the stock FJR shifter as a next step, and possbily shortening the shifter rod as much as possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
