Hey all,
As far as I can tell from sheldon a 9spd chain will (very probably) work fine on a “6” spd older chainring.
Can anyone confirm this? or better does anyone run this combo?
It will be a double road crankset.
Just wanna be sure before I grab a crankset of a friend.
thanks,
Mike
should be fine, as long as everything is 3/32"
I thought I’d replied to this already…
The issue you may encounter is that the chainrings are a little further apart, and there’s a chance you’ll drop the chain between them when shifting down. Otherwise, hunky dory.
I’m running a 9-speed chain on a 7-speed groupset, works pretty well. I would say 90% functionality.
Sweet, thanks for the replies.
