I've upgraded a lot of parts on my good road bike, significantly including
the shifters. I've consequently got a nice pair of 10 speed Campag
shifters sitting idle. My winter bike has friction downtube shifters.
Obviously I need to respace or replace the cassette to run with 10 speed
shifters, but do I also have to replace the chain? Will a nine-speed chain
actually damage a 10 speed cassette, or will shifting be very poor?
It's not that I can't afford a ten speed chain, but there's at least a
couple of thousand miles life left in the current nine-speed.
