When it comes loose, it's possible to wake up with the shit knob in your hand when shifting from 1st to 2nd :) Nothing scientifical about it...

Half an inch from memory... which is 12 and a bit mill. I just got a big file out when I did mine, and it went on after a lot of work, but that was about 5 years ago, so I'm guessing a bit!

I thought 1/2 inch was nearer 13mm,
but I agree its still only 1mm you have to file it down by

but does the knob hang on to the "shifter" ? So you don't pull it off from 1.st to 2.nd again.. :P

most aftermarket gear knobs are fitted with a grub screw (usually with an allen key head ) which secures them
