I'm fine in 5th The lever will only be on when I off-road, where the only thing on is the CB and/or FRS. Gotta' love quick-release levers. Too bad the the cool 5spd. knob I found in my Z parts has different threads I'm also dying to find a lever from that mtb. groupo Campagnolo put out a while ago. BTW Mobycat, I'm curious as to why you no longer use yours? I heard you removed it soon after the install.
