9 onto 10 won't go: SRAM S900 compatible with 9sp...
I have a SRAM S900 (Quarq) compact that I want to fit onto my winter bike (Shimano tiagra 9sp).
Is this compatible? The manual says SRAM/Shimano 10sp chains. Will a 10sp chain fit a 9sp cassette (guess not)?
Is there any other solution?
Thanks.

you can run a 10-speed chainset and chain just fine with a 9 speed cassette (i do)
you may need to adjust the front mech slightlly, apart from that it'll all be ok
go for a kmc chain as their 10-speed link is reusablemy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Is that a SRAM S900 chainset? Do different chainsets make a difference? Red says 9 & 10sp. S900 just says 10sp? Ommission? Or not compatible?
Edit: Re-reading on pc rather than mobile. Thanks for your responses. Both are pretty clear that it should work fine. Right, winter bike is off to the bike shop for a new GPX BB and the cranks fitted then.Rich0 -
use a 10-speed chain - the spacing on a 10-speed chainset is slightly narrower (i measured mine when i first did it), so you may get chain rub when on the small ring if you use a 9-speed
i'm not doing it with s900 (shimano 105) but there's not much difference sram/shimanomy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0
