[Cmm]

Hi

Will a standard ultegra 6700 crankset work in a 9 speed set up?

Thanks

Maybe wise to run it with a 10sp chain?

Should have no problem with a 9 speed chain. I put a R600 crankset (10 speed) on an 8 speed sora equipped bike. The 8 speed chain had issues immediately, but a 9 speed chain was fine, and has been fine for a couple thousand k's now.

Hi, I hope my question has similar situation as OP.
I have 9 speed Ultegra Giant OCR 2006 with truvativ crankset.
The guy from tHe bike workshop suggested that if I can find a Shimano brand crankset it has better performance.

Thing is I cant see any shop sells crankset for 9 speed gear.
Is the answer similar with what OP asked?

Is there possibility I can get the Shimano hollow crank installed on my bike?

I'm running a 6700 crankset on an otherwise mostly 6600 drivetrain.

It works.

Of course, you use a 9-speed chain with a 9-speed cassette. The limiting factor for chains is how wide the sprockets are... a 10-speed chain doesn't have enough space between the inner plates to fit a 9-speed sprocket tooth in. Going the other way, a 9-speed chain has more than enough room for a 10-speed chainring tooth.

Should i change the groupset to 10 or 11 speed or replace the crankset only. I like my bike,the frame is still on very good condition. Just had the carbon part repaired too. Changing to new bike i may get lower quality components with higher price. Hmmm decision decision...
