As I recall, his lament was that he didn't put a 12 on, not an 11. It would
have been 7 speed freewheel stuff for both campy and mavic at the time. An
11 wasn't an option.

Well, that's wrong because they had 10's available. But you are correct
about Kelley's failure being because he didn't have the 12.

It must really be paining the RBR experts that Tyler won L-B-L on a 50-12.
Doesn't everyone here think that you need a 56-11 in order to race Cat 5?

Is this a Spinal Tap reference, or was he wanting for an 11 tooth cog
(or actually 12 as the case may have been)?

Tyler didn't start using the compact cranks until after he broke his
collarbone in Stage 1 of the Tour.
