Just to summarize an earlier post: we used an 11-32 for at least 3000 miles with nary a missed or hesitant shift. When I did start to experience some overshifts (downshifts) I believe this coincided with my change to an 11-36 on which there is one large jump. Since then I've discovered and fixed a significant loss of adjustment in my WI hub which gave me more than 1 mm of freehub movement. I'm pretty confident that the 11-36 will shift just fine. I also have the same configuration on my single, but with an 11-32 and Rival RD; the shifting is just fine, but LBS found that a KMC chain shifted better than either Shimano or SRAM.

Those of you who have read this thread will also recall the observation that SRAM cassettes don't appear to shift worth a darn with this setup - Todd at daVinci observed the same thing.
