Meh, railing against extra sprockets is just one of those things you have to do I suppose.
We’ve all been there, I still don’t actually own a bike with more than 10 sprockets on the back, but I have nothing against them, and I think seeing as the future is 1x (and it is) more cogs in the range to smooth out the steps just makes sense…
So yeah, never say never…

You can use 11 speed chains on 10 speed, and 9 as well…
