Upgrade from Ultegra 9-sp triple to Dura-Ace 10-sp triple..
Hi,
I have an Ultegra 9-sp triple bike setup and I am thinking of upgrading to a 10-sp Dura-Ace. What components do I need to replace? shifters? fd? rd? cassette? and is it worth upgrading to Dura-Ace? Thanks, Hrothgar |

thanks... also, my chainring's 48/38/24. I like the 38 but I would
like to upgrade my big to 50. The 'old' Ultegra has a max of 10-th diff between big and middle. Does this limitation still apply to the new ultegra 10-sp? Can I upgrade my big chainring to 50 without any probs? thanks, Hrothgar |

9 speed chain is wider than 10-speed chain. and 10-speed cog spacing is
narrower. so chain definitely needs changing, no? |

(For example, my Ultegra triple FD is currently shifting my DA crankset -- 30/39/53 just fine.) Wait for some other replies, but my guess is you're good to go. Bill S. |

Thanks, Hrothgar No left DA triple shifters(7800 version) available yet but when they are-lever set, 10s cogset and chain. The resr, front and rear der, cranks, are compatible with 10s, but what question are you trying to answer with regards to the ultegra 9s stuff, what problem are you trying to solve? |

to answer the question(s):
1. Spend some money? YES 2. Look cool? YES kidding aside, i just wanted to have an extra cog (16) for close gearing/shifting. I have 9sp 12-27 (12/13/14/15/17/19/21/24/27) and I wanted to upgrade to 10sp 12-27 (12/13/14/15/16/17/19/21/24/27). I thought I need to replace a lot (shifters, fd, rd). Looking at some forums and your replies, it looks like I only need to replace the following: 1. Cassette (can i just squeeze a 16cog into my existing cassette?) 2. Chain 3. Rear shifter The other question is my chainrings 48/38/24. If I want to upgrade my big ch to 50, will this still work fine with my current setup (ultegra triple)? thanks a bunch, |

Cassette (can i just squeeze a 16cog into my existing cassette?) No, you need an actual 10-speed cassette, the spacers are thinner. 2. Chain 3. Rear shifter Handlebar tape, don't forget the handlebar tape! Theoretically you only need to replace the rear shifter, but you may find it difficult to locate a loose one. Also, there would be a cosmetic mismatch if you just changed the rear one. I'm not convinced that the Dura-Ace brifters are significantly better than the Ultegra units, by the way. The other question is my chainrings 48/38/24. If I want to upgrade my big ch to 50, will this still work fine with my current setup (ultegra triple)? Yes.
