"And it is in the smallest cog on the cassette in the largest chain ring. That's where I do most of my riding - probably 70% of the time."
I must've misread it then. I see that telling me smallest cog on the cassette in the largest chain ring....probably 70% of the time. I agree 70% of the time in the large chainring (mine's a 44) is not controversial. But I use my 44x11 less than 1% of the time. If I used my 44x11 for 2700 miles my knees would be gone, and that 11T cog would be shot.
