Hello,
I am in the process of purchasing a Ryker Rally.
I did come across a personal problem I am going to have. I am only 4'11.5. And I can not reach the reverse with my foot or reaching it comfortably with my arm. I saw the Pedal they were advertising but it does not seem t would bring it closer to me.
Have any other Shorties had this problem?
Anyone come up with any ideas?
Thanks in Advance

Re: advise on reverse
Princess I have the same problem - I'm the same height too and trying to figure out what I can do about the reverse problem. The above looks like it might work - but would you leave it on the bike?
Re: advise on reverse
I just installed that very same shift lever on my Ryker. It works perfectly for engaging reverse with your foot. No need to lean over and try to reach it with you hand. It took me about 20 min to align and firm it down. Great idea on the cheap. Doesn’t look awkward at all.

I too am fairly short, I just took reverse lever off, rotated it a couple splines lower and now it’s way more user freindly.
