  1. I keep losin' 'em. I like my buttons to project a fair amount, so when
    last at the bike shop, my mechanic (excellent Mike from New Paltz's
    unicycle.com-certified "Bike Rack" shop) put on some goopy stuff that
    was sposed to keep the little buttons from coming off.

    Well,... it worked for a few minutes. But on my ride home today, I
    tried to downshift, and suddenly I realized that the dang-blasted
    button had fallen off.

    So, does anyone have a recommendation so that I can keep on my buttons
    while still having them project enough?

    By the way, I should note that since getting the guni back from Florian
    recently, the thing rides like a charm. I've shifted at considerable
    speed (nearly 10mph) in both directions. I'm loving this uni once
    again. Now I just need some more buttons.

  2. um is it possible to get larger (longer) buttons so that they will
    still be adjusted in the normal position but still project further, or
    you could try something like araldite to glue em on....

  3. Have you thought about trying the easy shift levers that Schlumpf make?
    They might be worth a try, rather than running with your buttons
    loose.

    Alternatively, is there some way you can put a washer or nut or
    something under the buttons so that they screw down less far but are
    still tight?

    Or attach something to the buttons themselves so that they stick out
    more.
