I have searched and did not find what I was looking for...
On shimano 10sp systems, how many small cogs are expected to be lost due to chainrub on large chainring when one is using the smaller ring?
I have been told by the LBS to expect to lose 3 cogs, but what good is that if one expects more gears on a 10sp system and then lose 3??? By doing that, one loses the much enjoyed overlap of ratios between the 2 chainrings. Some overlap is really desired, and by losing 3 small cogs, essential overlap is essentially gone. Not good in my book.
Sooo.....how many small cogs are really expected to be lost in a 10sp setup?
