I wouldnt run race shift for the first time at a race...

I ride a 9 year old bike that has a rattle can paint job, so I guess I don't really care about the bling factor. I just wondered if they are really worth the extra dollars and if they made that much of a difference to your riding. Hopefully getting one will be that little something to get me into the 30's around the Creek.

I know I have needed to change to race shift for a long time Mick, but I've been too scared to do it. You might be happy to hear that I need to change to race shift for this weekend to run the Vortex rearsets. So it will be the first time back on the bike in 3 months, after crashing it twice, with race shift for the first time ever.

The Vortex rearsets should be able to be configure to run any shift pattern, road or race... And after racing with no quickshifter vs WITH one... ha, well, I'll never go back, that's for sure!

I've been running race pattern for ages on road bikes, and I agree with Chubb... wouldn't do it first up in a race. Could end badly. A slipper clutch will deal with a brain fart, but oh man, could be bad when coming out of a corner and down change instead of upshift...
