you should think about not laughing.
the op has already considered a solution to the extra shift position... you did not. I guess you are the one that needs to think.

and i still advise the OP get an 8 speed rear wheel, as i did above.

the hassle involved with misaligning a chain with almost every shift is immense, and will compound itself via wear and false shifting caused by bumps in the road/trail.

laugh at yourself, scott.
