I have a ride coming up in 2 weekends that has constant transitions from one end the gear range to the other. I see a lot of chains getting dropped or momentum being lost in those transitions while people are rifling through their gears. They can't get clipped out fast enough and do the sideways fall.
I don't understand, isn't that what a front shifter is for?
