I suspected as much. If there was only a "latency" setting which 
allowed you to specify how soon a choke could work after a trigger, 
I think it would be tweakable. Ho hum.

I shall indulge in a little scientific tinkering with the angle of 
dangle of the ride, to see if I can't rediscover that happy position 
which minimized the tendency to choke while still being a good 
target for edge crashes. Tomorrow, I think: my hands are sore 
through overindulgence, and the jet lag seems to have turned my 
brain to cream cheese.

Thanks, Ed.
