    I haven’t tried any of the automatic shifters yet so I cant comment on the dollar value, but to this day I still fuck up my shift timing or choices and pay for it in my knees or scary gear and chain sounds. If any become available at local shops for testing I will at least try it.

        just wrong gear for the slope level, not downshiftitng before a stop, etc. comes with old age or something I dunno…

        I’ve been riding decades and still fuck up once in while, it happens. Forgetting to downshift at a stop isn’t all that uncommon, at least for me.

          Or you just forget to downshift when you stop, have a momentary lapse of judgement, bump your shifter, etc. This could happen for lots of reasons.
