Shimano chain on Campy cogs

Howdy,

I know this has been posted before but I was unable to find the correct thread on Google so I
thought I'd post again. I have a bike with Dura-ace cranks and chain along with Record hubs, cogs
and shifters. I remember (or thought I did) that Lennard Zinn mentioned that this will work
without issue.

My problem is this: I have noticed tiny metal shards on my chain as I wipe it off to re-lube. I'm
wondering if I remembered wrong or if this is considered acceptable. My big concern is wearing out
my cogset as a new chain is a relatively inexpensive fix.

Did I mess up? Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

9-speed chains for 9-speed drivetrains.

10-speed chains (ie, not Shimano) are best for 10-speed drivetrains.

You can run a 9-speed chain on a 10-speed drivetrain but it will usually be noisy. If that's what
you have, I suggest a 10-speed chain.

Shimano 9-speed chains work fine on Campy 9-speed bikes.

Right, I forgot to pay attention to that 9spd/10spd thing. Will this be wearing out my chain or
cogset? I will order a new chain tomorrow but it will take a few days to get here.

Thanks again
