Just to be clear, it's not a shifter, it's just fork lockout.

There doesn't appear to be much in it - I mean, specs say 8deg or whatever but trying to picture the end result in my head doesn't get me going "oh yeah, that might work". I think the first thing to try will be move the levers back inwards and see if I can get used to having my whole hand in the middle of the grip.

What do you think it was about rotating the sweep back that helped? Instead of going towards the sky it brings the ends of the bars back, closer to you?

This and I think they just fit the natural angles of my body better. Also my body is used to drops more than anything else these days.

I'd have thought that would exacerbate the "cocked inwards" nature of my wrists but I'll bear it in mind as something else to potentially tweak. Probably, much of this stuff will just go away as the alcohol molecules in my body shuffle around and get used to the different bike and riding.
