Which Chain For 10 Speed Drive And 8 Speed Cassette
Gonna put Campagnolo 10 speed front and rear derailleurs as well as a
10 speed crankset on a bike I'm building up. I want to use an 8 speed cassette in conjunction with down tube shifters. The cassette will be made from a loose cog Campagnolo Ultra drive 9 speed cassette and Campy's 9 to 8 speed conversion spacer Kit 3. This way the cassette will fit any current 9-10 speed Campy rear hub wheels that I choose to use, and it also should allow for somewhat practical shifting with down tube shifters as opposed to a 9 or 10 speed cassette. My question is: what chains will work with this set up and which will work best? |

Which Chain For 10 Speed Drive And 8 Speed Cassette
For reducing a 10 speed rd to 8 speed, Branford Bike suggests using
wider 9 speed rd pulleys ($20) and 9 speed chain for 9 speed or 8 speed. wrote: Gonna put Campagnolo 10 speed front and rear derailleurs as well as a 10 speed crankset on a bike I'm building up.

When I got my 10-speed Centaur RD, I was running 9-speed parts otherwise. My SRAM PC-971 chain made horrific noise going through the pulleys. I switched to a Wipperman 1008, and the noise went away. It shifted well on 9-speed cogs until I got my 10- speed shifters and cassette. If I was doing a project as described, and encountered the same noise, I'd switch to 9-speed pulley bushings to space out the cage. |

We use 10s RD as replacement Rds for all Campag systems, including early gen 8s..w/o mucking with pulleys or using a chain that is not speced for 8s spacing...but 9s chains are more expensive, so no wonder. |

Branford has a SRAM 89R for $30. $10 more for a better fit? Never heard much about 10 speed, since Sheldon's sites don't mention much about 10 speeds in articles. So just assumed the 9 to 10 speed was a major crossing line. And thought Campy suggested similar parts but you are the expert. It just sounded like sound advice to me. Those are expensive parts to ground down prematurely. |

Not only are they reopening, they're reopening HERE! (In Seattle, near me. Life is good.) |
