My $.02
Because then you have the same pinion teeth meeting up with the same ring gear teeth all the time, which can make for uneven and weird wear patterns. Its not as "random" as it would be with a non-multiple gearset.

I don't usually laugh at posts that pick on people, but this one was the exception.

Thanks for bringing back the thread. I never read back that far when I was lurking. I guess I should have.
