Where did you get that 0.1W from? For material wear, a key issue in this thread, you don't need a lot of energy to effect it over time and repetition. And if your 0.1W loss is correct for a cross chained system, then a straight chain system may only have a 0.01W power loss. As such, that's a 10 fold increase in the energy loss which would directly contribute to wear. And even if it's down to 0.05W, that's still a 2 fold increase in the friction loss and a potential doubling of the wear rate on component. Would you still be happy with that? I know I won't as I don't want to unnecessarily half the service life of my drive train and make early contribution to Shimano or Campag.
