Open discussion on clutchless shifting please...
I thought short shifting is when you change up before you need to said:Well I'd call that pre-shift, selecting a gear befroe you need to?
If you've got your postion, speed and gear correct BEFORE entering a bend, why would you need to change it mid bend, other then to short shift up one?. If you are changing down then you havent read the bend correctly.
Nope, in my book, short shifting (quick shift) is to shift up a gear without using the clutch but i could stand corrected....
Anyone else any comments re this?????

Lumps, well yes and no.lumpy said:consider yourself stood.
Wolfie said:most of us short shift the gears every day.
on the straight road, do you take every gear to its full power????? of course you dont, therefore you have short shifted.

No you havent short shifted, you selected a gear appropriate for the speed of the vehicle to keep it more responsive or even settle the vehicle.
See, its all a matter of interpritation, so this discussion could go on forever. I think we shall have to agree to disagree?.
