Your move the lever until you hear the change and your legs report a difference.

Right, but when you've got something like an 11 or 12 speed cassette, your legs can't really feel much difference between some of the higher gears.

My assumption is that if the difference between the number of teeth is greater (i.e. a wide range cassette with only 6 - 8 cogs), you'll probably be able to feel the difference more easily.

This is why i want to try one! I'd like to actually know what it feels like, rather than assuming.
