Just checking before I spend my meagre pennies...
No problems with sticking 2 "10 speed" chainrings on an old "9 speed" XT crank is there?
Do I even need to change the chainrings? (I have a couple of never used 9 speed ones in a box somewhere)
FWIW I'm running 1x8 Alfine at the moment.
Running 9sp TA chinook on my 2x10 set up no probs. also run a shimano 9sp ring on 1x10 no probs.
From what I have read on here, 9 speed rings are fine, same width as 10, apparently its the outside of the chain thats changed?
A guru will be along in a min...
Cheers, I'll just give the 9 speed stuff a go. Now all I need is a wheel, cassette, front and rear mech, and a pair of shifters. Nearly there.
I've done something smiliar expect I've gone 2X9 speed on a three speed XT Crank put a 28 on the "granny" 40 on the middle and nothing on the outer. Just had to use shorter chain ring bolts and adjust the stop scres on the derailer.
