Just need some help! am still using a 8 speed setup, deore chainset (m590)
with 8 speed through out
my front mech is getting a bit worn out, its a Altus , fancy a deore or slx front mech, would there be much rub with the 8 speed chain?
running 3 rings at the front, have read here and there, some people run 9 speed chains on a 8 speed setup? silly or ?

yes as the chain is thicker you can get rub in the gears that you should not be using.
there is no benefit in running a 9spd chain on an 8 set up"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
