Did some more searching and from everything that I've read so far,
it's okay to run a 9 speed chain on an 8 speed drivetrain and it's
okay to run a 10 speed chain on a 9 speed drivetrain.

Ah yes - shims. Amazing how many shims are manufatured for bicycle
parts - this probabaly being one of the more common.

Since I would want to elimiate any possibility of that nasty chain rub
noise, what thickness shims go with:

1. 9 speed crank/chainring setup running an 8 speed chain

2. 10 speed crank/chainring setup running an 9 speed chain


Try it. It depends on the crankset, chainrings, chainline and
chainstaylenght
