Out of curiosity, is there a need for being able to shift at top speed or was this done just as an experiment? It would seem that to be useful, a shifter will need to shift a) once low speed has maxed out and you want to go to high speed and b) in a pushing match in high speed, when you want to drop down to low speed to limit current. I can't see a use case for downshifting from high speed at top speed.
