The following parts only are "speed specific": There are, on the other hand, some real compatibility issues. Remember, you account for 80 percent of the weight even if you are riding a rather heavy bicycle! With bicycle components, the performance gain with higher-end models is often minuscule. In reality, the fancier parts aren't always the most suitable, in the same way that a Ferrari, while it is a great racecar, isn't at all as good for daily transportation as a Toyota - there are practical issues of cost, reliability, serviceability and durability. "Jones" is also a slang term for a drug addiction! Also, design often is churned by spec hype, and "keeping up with the Joneses," as in more sprockets, lighter weight, higher-priced components must be better. This has led to much confusion as various parts are labeled as if they are incompatible with other parts even though they are actually usable with little or no problem. Component manufacturers like to sell you lots of new parts, even if you don't need them.
