Because for most people, we need something lower than 20 once in a while. In the old days, for racing, we would use a straight block for criteriums, but now with 10 & 11 speeds you can have a straight block and a few lower gears at the same time.

his guy has been trolling the general cycling forum for a while now, it looks like he has moved on to fresh targets who don't know his shtick. I suggest you guys ignore him. Move along, nothing to see here...

It takes a lot to look like an idiot in the 41. The OP has raised the bar.
