You probably would have benefit from just going 1t smaller.
4t smaller is a very huge difference! you're practically riding on track gearing now.
...yeh I had a 16t somewhere but its been lost with time and 14t was in the spares box. I would agree that its not exactly a gradual shift
I'm using it with a different chain to the 18t as I don't really anticipate keeping it for long...
