Will a 9 speed chain work on a 10 speed crankset?

A nine speed crank set will work with a 10 speed drive train. However it’s not all plain sailing. You can have trouble using a 10 speed FD with a 9 speed crank set. It doesn’t shift as far out as the 9 speed so you may experience sloppy changes to the outer ring and chain rub against the FD in some gears.

Are 9 speed and 10 speed chains the same?

The main difference between a 9 speed chain and a 10 speed chain is that the 10 speed chain is thinner in width, because of the 10 speed cassette, which in turn means the chain is lighter.

Can you use a 9 speed chain on a 11 speed cassette?

In general, 11 speed systems use narrower chains, sprockets and clusters than 10,9,8, speed systems. So the 9 speed chain will still work with an 11 speed ring.

Can I use a 10 speed crankset with a 8 speed cassette?

First, to answer the question asked: you can use them physically, but the shifting performance will suffer. Second, there is no limitation on the wheel, for a campy 8 speed hub. Put a 10 speed campy group on the bike. 8/9/10 speed are all the same, unless you truly have a freewheel, as opposed to a cassette.

Can I use an 11 speed crank on a 9 speed bike?

9 and 11 speed chains will have the same internal width and different external width (9 speed being thicker), so they will both fit snugly on 9 or 11 speed chainrings but shifting between chainrings may be problematic as spacing between two 9 speed chainrings will be optimised for a 9 speed chain.

Can I use a 10 speed chain on a 11 speed cassette?

FAQ: What About a 10-speed Chain on an 11-speed Cassette? A 10-speed chain will be too wide for an 11-speed cassette. It will cause rubbing, poor shifting, and premature wear of the drivetrain.

Can you use 10 speed crankset with 9 speed cassette?

New Chainrings, Old Chains And even if you were to experience the problem described, just opt for a 10 spd chain. It’ll work fine with your 9 spd cassette.

Can I use an 11 speed chain on a 10 speed cassette?

Condensed Answer: An 11-speed chain is narrower than a 10-speed chain and can therefore be combined with a 10-speed cassette.

Can I replace a 9 speed cassette with a 10 speed?

You can put a new 10 or 11 speed cassette on any of the older 9 speed hubs. So, regardless of brand, feel free to buy your wheels a nicely upgraded new steed.

Can I use 9 speed chainrings on a 10 speed?

A chain one size narrower than standard rarely presents any problem. Thus, you can use a “9-speed” chain with a 7-speed or 8-speed system, or a “10-speed” chain with a 9-speed system. This is not the ideal approach — shifting may not be quite as smooth — but it’s workable.

Are chainrings 9 or 10 speed specific?

Yes, chains are #speeds specific. But I haven’t experimented yet, maybe a 10-speed chain will work on a 9-speed setup, but I doubt a 9-speed chain will fit in a narrower 10-speed setup.

What is the speed of a cassette?

As the standard tape speed for a compact cassette is 1⅞ ips and a C60 cassette records 30 minutes per side, a C60 cassette in theory holds 281¼’ (85.73 m) of tape. In practice there is some variation, for example Maxell quote their C60s as being 90 m (295′) in length.

What is a 9 speed transmission?

The ZF 9HP is a nine-speed automatic transmission built by ZF Friedrichshafen AG subsidiary ZF Transmissions in Gray Court , South Carolina. It is a front-transverse transmission, used in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.
