Been doing the changeover on all my bikes to 10sp clutched mechs, mainly running them as 9sp with SRAM 9sp shifters, as I keep banging on about.
Anyhoo, had a spare deore 10sp cassette and a zee shifter and seeing as I bought a pile of xtr and pg991 9sp chains a while back, I though I'd see how they went instead of a 10sp chain.
What's the worst that could happen, I thought? Too wide for spacing on cassette.... Maybe wreck a cheap cassette and a spare chain.
For the record, works perfectly. Rode 90km of trails with it on Sunday. No compatibility issues, no niggles whatsoever.
Are 9sp chains slightly stronger than 10? People seem to say so But that's not why I'm doing it. I've got spare chains and a 'fuck you!, I'll decide' arrogance, so, why not.
Anyone else tried this and got longer term reports on wear?
