you can take the gear **** off and cut an 1/2 inch off or so, retap and replace, you have a quicker gear change?

 

Or you could buy a quickshift...

Doing what you describe above shortens the throw of the lever for sure, the other approach is to move the pivot point which is what the quickshift's do.

I have the GGR which is pretty good. I've heard good things about Jamie Whitfield's shaft too (performanceexhausts.net - see their banner ad)

 

I highly recommend Jamies… quick shift (I was gonna say shaft, but I wouldn't know about that!) cost £100 ish? loads of adjustment, from standard movement, right up to the smallest, almost unusable movement. Easy to fit.

You know it make sense, buy one
