'topped out in 5th and needed another gear'?

check out the ratios on a 6 speed. where 4th is the 'direct drive' gear on a 5 speed, 5th is the same ratio on most 6 speeds, with 6th gear being the overdrive. therefore if someone decided they needed a 6 speed because they found themselves at top speed in 5th too often, then they'd be making a foolish decision. you get a 6 speed for the same reason you'd get a short ratio 5 speed, only without any of the disadvantages of having 5 short gears.

i didn't think a 6 speed was really necessary, just exploring all the possible options. will probably look at getting another t50 or a w58.
