    I'll repeat what I said above then - if it's not angles WHAT is it about then?

    Chain and sprocket wear in the small to small combos, over stretching the mech in big to big.

    If 'overstretching' where an issue, why is a 1x chain set the same way as a 2x or 3x? The mech is then 'overstretched' in EXACTLY the same way in the largest at the rear on a 1x as it is in big/big on a multi front gear bike.

    Small small, maybe will wear the smallest (easiest to replace) sprocket a bit faster, but really not an issue is it....so agree with chainangle and not useing big/big and small small, but the next gears in are really not any more an issue than mid/big or small.
