On Campies, the shoe slides out of it's holder quite readily, with a little help from some pliers. Slide it out of the shoe holder and slide it back in backwards to reverse it. Swapping right -- left is necessary for non-parallel rims (the majority) only. -- :::::: Artificial Intelligence Machines --- Smalltalk Project :::::: :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-405 (w)503/685-2956 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
