Hi all,
My bike's groupset is 8speed Deore LX. I'm expecting the middle chainring to wear out first and
looking for a replacement. Recently I came across some 9speed chainrings and asked the lbs guy if I
could use them on my crankset. He recommended against it. He said that they are thinner and and an
8speed chain would cause some sideplay on the chainring which in turn would cause premature wear on
the new chainring.
This didn't sound logical to me. What do you guys think about it?
