[RBW] Skipping only in high gears.

I’m not positive (due to bludgeoned brain, not great memory), but I believe I experienced this issue when the Hunqapillar was new and I just chalked it up to figuring out the friction shifting. Sure enough, over time, the issue faded away, so matched my slow learning curve. Now I wonder if it

When your shop swapped out the chain and a chainring, I was surprised that they didn't sell you a new cassette at the same time. It is entirely likely your cassette is worn out and needs to go. The smaller cogs share the load over fewer teeth, so it's not at all unusual to have skipping in
