I'm putting together some ideas to use a paddle shift at the moment... I was just wondering what the general concensus was on travel? 2 inches I
hear is about the norm?
What is the distance from the pivot point on the paddle to the pick up point for the bulkhead end of the cable, Pat?
I would have thought this makes a big difference to travel / force required to change up and down?
Thanks,
Chris.
