I bought a set of chain rings from eBay without doing enough research, they are dyna sys 10 speed rings & I don't want to sgo to the expense of installing a 10speed set up.
How do I identify the chain rings?
The center ring markings are 32 -AE ID1 (on the metal) SG-x 10s 42-42-24 (on the composite)
The outer ring is labeled with the dyna sys logo & HG-X only & stamped 10s 42AE on the inner face. the ring is black & silver like the XT image on this link. http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/sg/index/news_and_info/news/dyna-sys__shimano.html

I don't wan't to re-sell these rings as XT if they are a lower spec set of rings. I can't find any info anywhere. The centre ring composite doesn't look like carbon, but I'm no expert.

Thanks for reading.

You can use them with 9 speed, no particular need to sell.

Yep pretty sure they'll work with 9 speed.

you can probably identify the parts by searching on the Shimano Tech Docs site...

ngee20 & cookeaa,

Thanks for the advice, I read that as the dyna sys is a tighter set I'm likely to overshift a little when changing gear, also wasn't sure if the hg-x chain would have issues with my block, if so a can of worms opens up.

Didn't really want to drop from a 44t to 42t without getting it back from the block as it's soooo flat round here (suffolk coast)

The chain rings wern't well described when I got them from flea bay, I don't want to reapeat the error. Shimano tech docs are no good sadly.

Thanks for input guys.
