Can Shimano handle a 10 tooth cog?

Most people looking to select new gearing don't start by changing their tires, nor do most people changing their tires concern themselves with it impacting their gearing. Going from 25c to 32c tires is the equivalent of changing a single tooth on your large chainring.
So whether your top gear is a 122 gear inches or 121 is rather immaterial compared to figuring out if you have the range and steps that are useful. And any system can demonstrate that relationship.

For further chance of reading comprehension challenge check out 2.2.1 Chordal Action
This is one reason why I dislike the trend to tiny rear cogs. I like a smooth and long lasting drivetrain. Andy

My friend. I coudnt not understand anything and chordal link was not working a few days ago or today.
Basically im consistently always riding at my 11T while on flats. Maybe not at incredibly high cadence but i only use the last 2 Cogs for any kind of ride for that bike (gravel&road hybrid)
I have a top speed problem with my drivetrain currently from my point of view, im considering going to 10t or 9t.
Do you think this increased wear is VERY big? is there any information on that? Thanks for the response

Unfortunately, the site hosting that link apparently doesn't support secure HTTP in a way that is compatible with Bike Forums (or possibly at all). To view the original link, replace the "HTTPS" at the beginning of the link with "HTTP" (no "S"). The link will then work properly.
Depending on your browser, you may have to configure it to allow non-secure HTTP. Some are set by default to allow only secure HTTP connections.

I definitely understand about chordal action for vibration, and large cogs in general reducing chain wear. But 11T cogs are an enormous blessing for us 406 wheel folks, and 9T if I ever get a 349. I'd need massive chainrings to be as effective.
