[Closed] Surely i can run a 10sp chainset with 9-speed drive train... RIGHT?
Topic starter
Cant seem to find an abundance of '9-speed' chainsets..
Shimano SLX 10-speed should be no worries with my existing 9-speed drivetrain, right?
Cant see a reason? Can you?

Yes you can.

This is an increasing problem as they "upgrade" the components cause you can only buy them cause they stop making the old ones. Can't say if it is a issue or not, the 10 speed chains are narrower than the 9 speed ones so at worst the teeth might be narrower too I suppose?

It works (for me!) - running 2 bikes with everything 10speed other than the chainrings, which are 9speed.
