I had a conversation with someone at the top of a hill one time that I watched climb that hill in way to hard a gear combo. The conversation wasn't so much about their climbing, but during the conversation they claimed their bike shifted perfectly. However when I ask them why they didn't shift to a lower gear when climbing they said that their bike wouldn't shift to those gears! WTF! <grin>
