  10. XX1 Cassette: Why a 9 tooth cog failed Following the development of the derailleur, the next step in the development of XX1 was figuring out an acceptable gear range. Early 10-speed prototypes had a 9-36 tooth range. Testing proved that a 9 tooth cog was too small to be pedalled comfortably. Such a small cog caused a shuddering sensation when pedalled under load. This is due to a phenomenon known as the “polygon effect,” which results from variations in speed as the chain transitions from one cog to the next. “The smaller you get, the bigger the polygon effect,” said Henrik Braedt, a design engineer who worked on the development of the XX1 cassette. This effect exponentially decreases relative to the number of teeth on a cog. The addition of one tooth, along with carful machining of the tooth profile mitigated the polygon effect.
