Hey guys.

I have 10 speed rear mech, chain, cassette and both shifters which i recently fitted to my old frame with a 9 speed chainset and front mech. It seemed to work alright and was gonna put the 9 speed front mech on the new bike but i need a high clamp instead of top swing. Sooo, which should i get, 9 or 10 speed?

This probably won't help you out that much ๐Ÿ˜€ but. I recently set up a 2 x 9 using all 9 speed stuff except for the Crankset ( 2 x 10 ) and the front derailleur. But as I understand the FD is slightly narrower because the 10 speed chain is narrower across the outside faces of the links. The inside dimension is the same 9 to 10 speed, so I would suggest a 10 speed should be best or you..
