In my case, I need to stay with a Rival GXP crank to keep using my stages crank arm PM. Actually, a 10-speed chain is thinner and lighter than a 9-speed. Find a clearance 11-spd rival 22 GXP crank that may not cost any more than a pair of new 10-spd rings, and will definitely cost less than 11-spd rings on their own. A 10-speed chain will work on most 9-speed cassettes without an issue.The front is still just 2 positions (small and big. size for your chain 7/8speed, 9-speed, 10-speed, 11-speed or 12-speed. You may also need a new front derailleur to accomodate the different chain, but Im not sure on that. As chain tools are quite heavy, when weight is an issue, carry a quick link. Pick up some affordable new 10-spd rings that seem to work fine, particularly with Di2 that just shifts so well anyway or - So in general, in order to convert your bike from 10 speed to 11 speed, you generally will need a new rear derailleur, rear shifter, chain, cassette, chainrings, and possibly a new rear hub.a 10 speed Connex 10s1 chain weighs 260g for 110 links, where as a 9 speed 9s1 chain weighs 274g for 110 links, miniscule but a difference nonetheless. Wear out my used 10 speed ring some more - but this ring was also rather abused due to my poor pre-wax rotation chain maintenance habits and with new cassette, new chains, don’t want to wonder if it could shift even better… The main difference between a 9 speed chain and a 10 speed chain is that the 10 speed chain is thinner in width, because of the 10 speed cassette, which in turn means the chain is lighter.The chain of an 11-speed transmission will be lower than that of a 9-speed.

In simpler words: The higher the number of cogs on your bike’s rear hub, the smaller the spacing between the cogs. So to conclude, seems like best options are - For instance, the distance is wider on a 9-speed block than on an 11-speed model.

Shifting is also clearly much tighter now.


#10 vs 11 speed chain series#
The 12-speed series shift units box contains only 16 compatible units, or 9 if you ignore left/right versions. That’s ‘only’ 28 if you consider the left/right versions to be the same. spare ring I had with 3k+ miles on it completely solved the issue of throwing chain over big ring under load. For the 10-speed and 11-speed Di2 series, the compatibility charts list a massive 50 shift units. For any future visitors to this thread, that ring I took a picture of was clearly crap.
