Exactly my take upon looking at it, too; it gets used.

I honestly don't know which gears I use mostly, when, or what for, so that's why I went down to look at my wheel, and yeah, it looks like I get on it often enough, probably because the rolling terrain out here rewards carrying momentum, and if I have the opportunity to make speed downhill to save me some effort on the next uphill, I do. At 220lbs, it's not hard for me to gather the speed to be able to crank over the 53/11 for a bit down a gradual 6-7% slope before madly dumping gears to hump it up the other side.
