I have the Tech 7 boots, which have a molded sole, so no lip to aid in gear changes.
I moved the lever one spline up.
I can easily gear up, but have to lift my boot for the down changes.
There is ample space to the chain, with the lever fully up.
I do have aftermarket footpegs, but comparing them to the OEM, there doesn't seem any difference in the height of the different pegs.
Wont you be able to do gearchanges with the lever in a lower position?
Problem is that when I'm riding, my boots often accidentally nudge gear lever either into a false neutral or into a higher gear.
I like to be intentional about gear shifting.

Anyways, on the maintenance side, some of you might remember this...

So it's a coupla phone calls and a number of pop-ins. Luke (from Eddy2Race) said that due to the fact that these models are discontinued, they don't keep stock and lead times should be around 6 weeks. I finally got the right sprocket from TracMac in Bellville, after their system said they didn't have. They had a different one (46T), so I asked if I can see it anyways. Bob's your uncle, it was the correct one which was obviously incorrectly booked into their system.
I decided to stick to the original ratio of 15/45 for now. When I took of the original rear sprocket, I noticed that it is aluminium. The PBR is cast iron (much heavier), so I'm guessing it should last a bit longer?
Side Note:
Renz is moving premesis from Montague Gardens to Bellville/Durbanville area, so they have some pretty good specials at the moment. Paid R720 for the EK x-ring chain.
