Having just returned to cycling after a 10 year lay-off I am trying to update some of my gear, I want to fit a compact chainset to replace an old 53/39 dura ace one, but the bike in question is still 8 speed ultegra/105. Will a 10 speed chainset cause any problems running an 8 speed chain and cassette?
Cheers Gary
