Thanks for the posted video, Dan. I've put about 5000 miles on the XRD5(w) on my commuting bike and like it very much.
bgrantca: I use the bar mounted thumb shifter on mine. I adjust it so 2nd gear is notched in at least tension. In other words, I shift to second, and then nudge the lever back toward 3rd while still indexed. I then adjust the cable so the outside edge of the yellow indicator band is even with the end of the axle.
