Hi all,
I am currently looking into getting a hybrid roadie (straight handle bar type), found one (specs listed below) but there are some questions that I need to ask you folks here...
* Mostly Shimano 105 groupset components:
- cassette sprocket CS-5600
- shifting lever SL-R770
- brake lever BL-770
- front derailleur FD-773
- back derailleur RD-5600
- chainwheel FC-R553
- chain KMC Z9000
* Wheelset - Formula Xero CXR-6, FreeHub rated as S8/9 speed
Does using a 9 speed chain affect (damage) the 10 speed drivetrain in the long run or only in performance wise?
If I want to change to a 10 speed chain, do I need to change the wheelset as well?
Thanks for taking the time to go through my post
