The chain hopping thing while back-pedaling is aggravating. Happens to me in
other cogs, not just the granny. Also it happens immediately, so if I'm back-
pedaling to get around/over something, I have a disconcerting inability to get
power back to the wheel immediately afterward, without first grinding through
a few cogs.
It's not the worst thing possible, but I've never seen this with any previous
bike, and it happens on both my XT 11-speed setups (Pivot Les hardtail and
Yeti SB-66c FS). I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, accompanied by dismissal
from those who don't experience it ("Don't backpedal".).
