Can I use chain rings that were on a 9 speed for my 11 speed cassette or do I need to get 11 speed chain rings? Essentially I am asking if I need thinner chain rings for the thinner 11 speed chain. Also, what is the max length chain I can get in 11 speed.
I am frankenbiking hard right now. Just want a better groupset on my sturdy, yet craptastic Fuji Nevada 1.9 frame.
Thanks, and be gentle, I have been riding forever, just now decided to learn about all the stuff I just took in to the shop to fix, or franken.
Thanks,
Jeff
Max length chain you can get: 500 foot from here http://www.bikeman.com/CH5052.html ... should be enough :D !
You may find shops reselling whatever length you want.
A 11 speed chain should work okay on 9 speed chainrings.
Keep up with frankenbiking, the fun is in the process and in the final result!
