It has not had any issues and shifts exactly how you would expect.
Likewise. I would've been happy to spend for an Ultegra cassette (at which point if the bike doesn't shift, it's definitely my fault), as the entire rest of the Lynskey is Ultegra... but Shimano obviously doesn't want my money. Nor do they want a 14T, 16T, or 18T on a cassette for mere mortals.
