ok. i got my bike back from a full rear suspension rebuild. all new bushings.

i just got my bike back from a fresh tune-up when the mechanic showed me my bushings were toasted.

ok, new mechanic..new bushings..done. i refused to pay him to tune it again. i can do this. i thought he would just disconnect the derailleur and let it hang..but no, i dont think he did. yesterday, on my ride, it shifted fine. right up until you put the chain under serious loading by cranking up hills. i got major ghost shifting!! (i think i jammed my right knee when a chain slipped)

anyways..i brought it home, put it on the stand and ran it through the gears. i started over, confirmed the upper and lower stops, and got the thing to shift smoothly.

what about under load? is this an indication that i need a new chain or cluster? i had the chain measured and they told me it didnt stretch that much.
