| Mark Etheridge sent me gratis (thanks Mark!) the last bit of brake linkage to swap the red Ambo over to left side brake, right side shift. It sure does make things a tad interesting! It took a few days to really get the hang of it and now I can go from bike to bike without too much trouble. It makes the one down, four up and one up, three or four down patterns seem easy in comparison. |
I drove my 700 for many years and it got to be second nature. Now after
riding a left shift for many years I still find myself occasionally hitting
the wrong pedal if I'm not thinking. So be careful! Just remember in a
panic, stomp with both feet and grab with both hands and you'll be OK.
