Perhaps we can say "don't pedal backwards whilst in a very small cog", and/or "don't pedal backwards too sudden and quick", but don't throw out the baby with the washing water. | |

"Don't pedal backwards" is the lesson here, because you can always spin in reverse hard enough to dump untensioned chain onto the cassette, and without any tension there's no way to control where it goes - and it doesn't matter how well adjusted the RD is. | |
