Ive heard over time anything more than one down on the front causes excess stress on the crank, sprockets and causes too much chain wrap. I just go one in front and add more to the rear.

How much time? I've been -2 and 10 up for 2 years and never had or heard of anyone having a problem.

I heard the same thing about the wear with -2 but from what you guys are saying that's all hearsay.
