Kelvin: That's my technique as well. But even the Paddy Hopkirk pedal
won't solve this because the pedal ends up way higher than the brake. I
did some work on it tonight and reconfigured the pedal stop, then made a
cable adjustment. As long as I still can get full throttle, it may be
set, However, I need to widen the gas pedal or do the Hopkirk thing
because my race shoes won't span the gap between brake and gas now.
