5. I made the compact mistake (50-34x13-23 9 cogs had the same range and spacing as 50-40-30x13-21 8) where 34x15 was the next gear after 50x21. Going the other way from 34x14 to 50x19 with a 3 cog limit did take an extra shove of the right front paddle. Some terrain called for multiple shifts like that for each mile traveled.
