I've been having a lot of trouble lately with accidentally shifting into neutral when I was really reaching for second. I've tightened my chain down to max spec as some of you have suggested, but it hasn't fixed the problem. I've decided that the problem lies in how my far my foot hangs under the shift pedal, when i pull up to shift it really does feel like i'm trying to touch my shin to my toe. So I think I need to lower the shift pedal. I looked at the service manual and it seems to indicate that it really shouldn't be any lower than it currently is, but I can't think of any particular mechanical reason why not. I've admitted before that my knowledge when it comes to bikes is somewhat lacking, so i thought I would once again turn to ye 'ol wise ones for some insight on my current predicament. So how about it, will the gremlins get me if I lower my shift pedal an inch or so below spec?
