Someday you'll inadvertently shift into the big/big, and it can be a very expensive misshift.
Yes, I understand, but when I'm in the small/small the chain is almost hitting the 2 pulleys and there is very little tension in the spring. I am afraid that adding one more link to the chain will create a problem at the other extreme.
