I think I wrote it out a couple times already, but just to restate - nothing terribly surprising here. A different set of gear sizes might have had something more interesting with ratio intervals, and different lateral measurements might have contraindicated some otherwise good combinations. Not here though - fairly sure Shimano thought all this out already.

Besides the analysis technique, the primary useful result is to point out the specific points at which I should ideally transition from the small/medium/large rings, and noting that a single step up/down in the cassette should accompany those transitions (with my particular setup.)
