I’m sure this has been asked a million times before but I haven’t got time to search.

Got a couple of 9 sp chains knocking around so wondering if they’ll work with my 8sp winter bike.

Will pick up any replies later. Ta.

    Yes - roller width is the same at 2.3mm, only the external width is different
