A quick (and possibly simple/dumb) question.

Is the new Shimano 9100 chainset compatible with the 9000 front mech and rear mech?

I am pretty certain the answer is that they will work fine, but would like to avoid an expensive mistake if I have missed something on this topic.

thanks in advance

    Found this on roadbikereview:

    "The new 9100 and 8000 series chainrings have a slightly different chainline to support shorter chainstays. The difference is extremely small, and probably within the adjustable limits of the 6800 and 9000 FD's, but, as MMsReBike said, Shimano says they are not compatible, even though they probably are"
