Not to re-open the age old argument, but I put this in tech because TECHnically, I believe this is the best shifter made. Period. Anyway, I've had my Pro5.0 for quite awhile, and even with my long arms I have to admit the reach is out there for 1-3-5. I had a Tri-Ax before this one, and the handle position was the only thing I liked about it. When I put the Pro5.0 in, I tried it with the Tri-Ax lever first as I've heard this is popular. Unfortunately it was made out of the same aluminum crap that the rest of the Steeda peice was, so it had the same dull, mushy feel that it had on the Steeda base. Then I came upon Kona Racing. For anyone thinking to get a Pro5.0, or any shifter for that matter, they not only have the best price on PowerTower's that I've seen but they sell it with thier own shift lever which is a virtual clone of the Steeda Tri-Ax lever, only made out of billet steel using the same techniques Pro5.0 uses in thier own. I just ordered the Kona lever and put it in tonight. Same great handle position as the Steeda, with the same crisp, positive rock solid feel of the Pro5.0. Kona Racing seems to be a real small company trying to get their name out, and they could really use the business- not to mention I think they offer a tried and true superior product at a great price. The website is worth a look. Highly recommended! Thanks for reading.
