For fietsbob: apparently both math and reading comprehension are in short supply these days, since this thread was not about the IGH, but the IGH was used as a comparison for some of the really super wide cassettes. It's also an apt comparison:
SRAM 11 speed 11-42: 18% 15% 13% 12% 16% 14% 12% 14% 13% 17%
Alfine 8: 24% 15% 17% 17% 22% 16% 14% (And, incidentally, those progressions are all over the place.)
Compared to,
Shimano 10 speed 12-25: 8% 8% 7% 7% 6% 12% 11% 10% 9%
Also, I'm not talking about straight 1 tooth progressions. As the cogs get larger, to keep the percentage jumps even you have to go to 2 tooth.
