Fuuuuck, we swallowed it without even blinking. And for every person who says "everything is so much more awesome now than it was (insert bygone era here)", there's someone wistfully remembering when the shift up to the biggest cog was smooth and quiet, or someone whose jockey wheels are now staring at each other after their insanely expensive derr cage twisted into an approximation of a figure 8.
Once upon a time people thought it was a good idea to loosen the rear hub while riding in order to shift gears as well, so, yeah, we _are_ progressing. But it's not all skyward in triumph...
