  • A bit of extra slack in small-small, which isn’t nearly as damaging as
  • Too little chain in big-big, which will quickly break something that’s vital

Bike looks awesome!
Thanks!

I wouldn't bet that I will "never" use the bad combinations, but it will be rare. As you say, I'm basically trying to make sure that my response to accidentally using the bad combo is "Oh yeah..." rather than "Oh no!!!"
