Or, indeed, when you think you're in fourth when you're really in third
and you knock it down two gears for that second gear corner in the
wet...

Apparently it looked superb

Reversed gearchanges always catch me out. I nearly lobbed my RD250E on
my 17th birthday when it suddenly locked the back wheel. I'd changed
into what I thought would be third at max revs in 2nd, not remembering
that it was the FS1E I had for a year previously that had the all 4 down
gear pattern, and not the RD I was on. RDs don't like being slammed into
first gear when flat out in 2nd.

I did the same on a mate's RD400E race bike, with home-made rear-sets
too.
