Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Take a look at the damage and notice how it gets progressively worse as you move in. The larger the sprocket, the deeper the gouges, until you get to where sprockets are paired on aluminum "hubs" or spiders. The wider engagement area of the spider doesn't damage the freehub body, despite the sprocket having more torque. This is the best evidence of the superiority of having larger sprockets on spiders, vs. all loose sprockets and spacers.
