  • Can you use 9 speed road shifters with 8 speed road mech?

    My mate has a Triban 3 roadbike but hates the shifters.
    He’s looking at some Sora 9 speed shifter/brake units on ebay – not sure if they’ll work with his 8 speed rear mech – all Shimano FWIW. Anyone have a definitive yes or no? Cheers

    They’ll work with the mech, but he’ll need a 9 speed chain and cassette.
