  1. Well im now looking at changing my chain set after all, as i feel this would be better in the long run.

    so my question is; what is the difference between a 9 speed and a 10 speed chain set ?, i am currently useing a 9 speed cassette, do i have to get a 9 speed chain set? or is there no difference ?

    is it the gap between the rings, if so how do i over come this problem?

    Thanks again

    Gary

  2. for a 9 speed cassette you need a 9 speed chain and of the same brand of your cassette, but there are some compatible brands one with the other, the difference is the thickness of the chain i believe,

  3. Thanks, i just need to see what will go with a SRAM cassette, i have first refusal of a campagnolo mirage compact 34/50 ultra torque, how do i find what will go with what ??

    Brands are not a problem when it comes to matching cranksets to drivetrains. Speed compatibility as in 8 speed vs. 10 speed can matter to some extent as mentioned above, but there's no issues running a Campy crank on a Shimano or SRAM drivetrain or vice versa. The crankset is the most interchangeable part of the drivetrain.
