with the wooden insoles? those things gave me bone spurs. was the best power transmission yo could find though.
Man...
just got a pair of Pearl Izumis with the carbon sole - light years different, and soooo comfortable. some things have gotten better.
hey shifter boss dims - measuring the entire boss, including the square base that holds the shifter stop, from the high point of the downtube (which would be center line with the center of the boss)
overall length is 12.5 mm, square boss base is 2.5 mm thick/long, the round shifter boss shaft is 10 mm, the length of the shaft that has the flat 'lands' that key into the washer and coverplate is 4.5 mm.
measurements are close, but not exact. They were done with a rule instead of my missing calipers. But good to within .5 mm, I think.
... hope this helps identifying any boss anomalies.
