Hi all

I am upgrading my bike bit by bit from 9 to 10speed ultegra - starting with the bottom bracket and chainset - which i have done now - and I have no issues with shifting witout having upgraded the front mech.

Is there really any need to upgrade the front mech at all? Will the 9speed version work ok with when I replace the STIs?

TT

    9 speed should work fine. in truth the 9spd chainrings will work well true (not quite as well when the chain is diagonal).

    rear derailleur, rear shifter, chain and cassette is all you need to upgrade to get to perfectly acceptable 10spd
