I only ask because I've always had a 6 speed, and my sentiment is the same as yours, but I was wondering if the 5 speeds would benefit more from this if they were using the bike primarily on distance rides. I tend to cruise 80 or 90 when i'm riding distance on the slab, and It occurred to me that might not work so well on a 5 speed.

I've only got five and 80-90 is no trouble. It just hums a bit more. But it'll do it all day. Big Grin
Remember, my fifth gear ratio is higher than your fifth gear ratio. How much, I'm not sure.
