The boss at my LBS said that too - he was talking about smoothness and I think that’s true. I guess I’m used to noisily but quickly banging up and down on knackered HyperGlide XT.
Almost solely commuting use the last 8 months had worn out the smaller six sprockets and left the biggest barely worn, to the point it wouldn’t even shift to the the biggest two because the chain was so out of whack with them (not ideal when trying to pedal up something almost too steep to walk up!)
