Does any one, or has anyone had a problem witht heir shifter gromet (the part that contacts your boot or shoe) wearing down?

I tried to spin mine around but to no avail, wondering what its gonna cost me to replace. I hope they don't continue to wear out every 6,000 miles!

If you look at my bike pictures "img 4699" you can see how it is cone shaped now.

Bike bandit is always more expensive. I really don't get it. Sometimes it is by a lot. I like using cheap cycle parts, they were good when I had to replace a part on my wife's savage, and had the best price. Just my

Mine is wearing down really funky also, buy not down to metal yet, so I will continue to get by.

When i bought my bike it was half torn.

Its been that way for an additional 5K miles without issue. Waiting for the bastard to tear off completely. Might just go run to the Yammy store down the street and grab one if its a whopping 3 dollhairs.

How often is everyone wearing through theirs? I am a little surprised at 5 months and 6,000 miles.... On my honda shadow I replaced it once in 60,000 miles!!!

Mine is at 7k now and it basicaly forms a "V" with the thicker part on the inside. I have noticed though that it is easier to fit my "bigfoot toes" in there now for an easy upshift and downshift. I too will be waiting to replace it till I am ALL the way to the metal. As long as there is rubber to protect my boots..

On bikes I've had where it wore out or fell off, I just shifted from then on with the bare lever....no big deal.
