Haha... I counted the # of stops I have and it's once every 5 blocks on average, not like I have to unclip but enough that I have to bleed off 20-25mph of speed down to 5mph or so. 12*20=240/5= 48 hard stops each way = around 100 hard stops a day.
Combined with about 2-3 shifts per stop, I'm putting my ultegra levers and deore lx rear der. through about 250 up and 250 down shifts a day, or about 500 shifts on the right shifter. I bet people with fixies are shaking their heads and crying right about now.
Damn, they should hire me to fatigue test their crap.
