And second the admonition to clean the drivetrain more often. Regular cleanings could easily double your drivetrain life (chain/cassette, rings don't wear as fast). Also, google the chain measurement method referenced above. Replace your chain before it is way whacked out, it'll save a lot of headaches.
😅 I've rarely used it. That's just the design. I think it's so old school they don't care to redesign it to "shift" better
