The number one reason for differing stand VS road test function is the tension that's in the chain during riding (and not present during stand testing). If I had a dime for every time I mention "soft pedaling during shifting" to my customers...
There are other reasons for differing function and oldschoolwrench's request for more info is the start of discovery for those. Andy.
