>>1082502what about the wear on the cogs?
basically i see two options, one is 40-26 with the 11 cog out so 13-36 at the back, the other is keeping the 10 speed casette of 11-36 but rolling with a 26-34.
both give me the same amount of gearing but there is a huge overlap in the 26-34 almost like it barely makes sense to have two gears, meanwhile there is way less overlap in the 26-40 and the smallest gear that experiences the most wear and most strain is simply removed.
