When? There was a time when everyone did fine with that -- because
that's all most people had.
The real question is, in a medium or high-level bike race when a bunch
of guys have 11s or 12s and you don't, will you do just as well. I
don't think so. If there is an extended of shallow downhill, or
tailwinds, or tailwind sprints you're hosed.
