There are different widths in the chains. ie You can't use a standard
chain on a 9 speed cluster too wide to fit between the gears.


Sure, but donor and receiver are both 6sp, so I should be ok?


IMO, the cluster and the chainwheel should be okay. The chain is the
more likely to give problem if it is from a third source rather than
worn into the chainwheel/cluster combination.

Have a good look at the cluster cogs for wear signs. also flip the bike
and closely watch chain/cog matching. If you see air, thenyou might have
problems under power.

All you cn really do is give it a go.
