I have the 'Andes' 2nd gear wheels supplied by Andy Bird. He ramps the dog for engaging top on the 2nd gear wheel. It works well. Engaging top gear is much easier and it can just be pushed straight in if necessary. Very useful when hill climbing, it avoids the embarrassing situation of losing so much speed in the gearchange that I have to go straight back down into 2nd. I also have a lightened flywheel which helps too.
