Kurt Sperry emailed "A perfectly executed shift- decisive, fast, with perfect overshift and return technique- on Nuovo Record rear is about as sweet as there is for me. On a good day I can snap them off one after another. Fatigue can make it tough though.

I agree with Kurt on this point,''On a good day I can snap them off one after another. Fatigue can make it tough though.'' I noticed that when touring on a loaded bicycle the same problem, excellent shifting till I got tried and than riding in same gears to reduce number of times I shifted, has shifts became shower and less accurate. I ride both indexed and non-indexed and prefer indexed (off topic) on longer rides requiring a lot of shifting. But setting up indexing not always and easy task.
