Can I fit an Ultegra front mech (9sp) to a - slowly being upgraded - Sora 8sp group?

    Hi - I used one successfully with an otherwise 8-speed set up whilist I was similarly upgrading.

    the 9spd cage is a tad narrower so you may get chain rub.

    You can always fit the narrower 9spd chain, which will be fine with an 8spd cassette

    Thanks guys. Sorry, for the lack of response, I've been away.

    Maddog, I'm hoping I might avoid the chain rub as I've got a 9sp chain anyway, I'll give it a go.
