heel/toe shifter issues

[Joep]

as I was going along on my merry way... the toe cap fell off the shifter.. of all things to go and drop off.. well anyone got a scrap shifter I could take the toe cap off or one to replace the sshifter??

Just get some thin aluminum diamond plate and make one.

lol.

I think you mean the rubber cap on the stock shifter?
I might have a spare shift lever laying around if your interested. Send me a PM.

actually it was the metal cap.. .. you would think the rubber pad would go.. it was gone long before I got the wing...

You are talking the toe pad on the heel/toe shifter right? Mine is held on with two screws.

Yeah the toe pad/plate..

The heel plate on mine is identicle. If yours fits the front. Use it as a template for some diamond plate aluminum. Lowes has small pieces pretty cheap. Then all you need are the screws. :good:

The Markland heel/toe on mine didn't have rubber pads on it when I bought the bike. It has two metal pads/plates that are part of the shifter itself, as in, they are welded on. I keep wanting to get some rubber to glue onto them, but haven't yet. I think the rubber pads for a parking brake would fit on mine, tho I may need to trim them down a bit... :headscratch:

Yeah the toe pad/plate..

Were you able to fix it or would you need a sandblasted one? I'm planning to use the aluminum diamond plate on mine.
