I often ride the full block, or corncob, cheerfully accepting the consequences, to which those on BF I've ridden with can attest.
I'm a low cadence rider, so grinding up a hill is sorta "my way."
My main error, due to haste and the terrain of my daily route, was not realizing the RD would hit the spokes when I was using the inner 19t cog.
As such, I not only didn't have use of the 19t cog, I was risking a much more serious problem if that RD had gotten caught.
On a Ti framee, it could get very expensive if that happens, has me thinking of a dork disk again, since I'm the dork in this case....
