Now for the real technical stuff...When to use the jake to shift and with which box and when? All three stages regardless of terrain or cut it back a notch on a steep pull where you're trying not to be gearbound ?
As in...when you leave the landing and it's an immediate seven or eight percent, soft ground, and five miles to the top. If you try to grab one in the brownie and miss, you come to a complete stop real fast. That kind of ground.
You can hear some darn good arguments on this one at the shop sometimes. -
The way I see it, I will ALWAYS make mistakes shifting, and so my strength has been overcoming my mistakes with quick saves.
That's my shifting theory, and I am sticking to it. -

So many little things that you just had to learn on your own, usually by having to stop and start all over in a low gear in which you were likely stuck in until the top of the grade.
