Campag 10 front derailleur + 8 speed chain

[Tom Wright]

Hi,

I am in the process of converting to Chorus 10 speed from Shimano 8 speed, but would like to do this
in stages. Will a Chorus 10sp front derailleur work with a standard 8 speed chain, or is the gap
between the two edges too narrow?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Wright

If you are useing 10 speed in the back you will need a 10 speed chain. If you are useing the front
10 speed on the front of an 8 speed in the back, remove the plastis guide in the outer cage and you
now have 8-9 speed front derailer. Hope this helps, Garry

gap is the same for 8s/9s/10s. For 10s they added a plastic 'part', just remove it but even with it,
it will work.
