I just rebuilt my bike and wanted to get a new chain. I have a shimano 105 drive train from the 92-
93 time frame except for the cassette. The Front Derailleur is FD-1056, the chain wheels are SG B-53
and SG B-39, the cassette is Hyperglide 13-26 and the rear derailluer is Integrated 8-SIS. My
shifters are 8 speed also I believe. As I said, I have only replaced the Cassette so far from the
original 105 system.
1) Is that a cassette this system can handle?
2)Also is there any chance a 9 speed chain would work on this 8 speed setup? I like the fact the
chain is thinner. Or should I get an 8 speed chain?
3) What components to I have to replace to have a 9 speed system?
There seems to be alot being written about compatibility out there, but it seems like, say for the
last 20 years, there is basically an 8 speed system and 9 speed system right?
