Campanolo 9spd/10spd

[Tony]

This question has probably been covered before, my apologies if it has. Is there the a problem
running Chorus 10 spd Chainset with 9 spd chain and 9 spd rear mech., am I correct in assuming the
chainrings are the same as 9 spd. I just seem to be having chain alignment problems, it is on my
training bike and am just running friction levers and not Ergo's. Any info would be great.

Should work fine even though slightly different.

It might be possible to make a better guess about what to do if you describe the rest of the
drivetrain and frame type.

Are you running a 102mm Chorus or Record bottom bracket?

There is no problem altho the 10s big ring is offset a wee bit towards the small ring but it works
great with even 8s stuff...certainly ok with 9s components and chain.

I ran 10 speed chainrings with my Record 9 rear setup and Peter's right. It does work fine. However,
I did get very slight constant chain sounds when on the big chainring, and since I spend most of my
time there I ended up swapping for a real 9sp chainring.

You can also install a set of washers that will space the 10sp chainring so that it's positioned
properly. Don't know their measurement offhand.

HTH,
