fredfuchsIt'll wear down quicker, but unless the rubber on your shifter is about gone (like mine), it's going to take a LOT of wear to get through that pad.
fredfuchsThe shifter pad extra leather is very thick, but it depends on whether you have a rubber or metal shifter.
If you're conditioning your leather (we recommend using mink oil), the shifter pad might outlast your bike...just like horse saddles. It's also replaceable as well. :-)
motobaileysI been wearing my shoe for about a week now, but I notice my right shoe heel creaks every time I walk on them. The left seem to be fine. Is there a way I can exchange for another? Other than that I have enjoyed them a lot.
