Zaskar Posted February 19, 2008 Share got this off another web forum...http://roguemechanic.typepad.com/roguemechanic/2005/11/shimano_r700_cr.htmlPosted by: uber | November 23, 2005 at 08:39 AM can you use the r700 with ultegra 9 or does it have to be 10?Posted by: ts | January 18, 2006 at 11:12 PM Hello ts,Officially, Shimano says that it's only compatible with a 10 speed chain. That's not completely true. It will work just fine with 9 speed....I'd recommend a Shimano 9 speed chain in this case because it's more narrow than a SRAM and would be less likely to rub the outter ring when in the 34x12. I hope that this info helps. Thanks for writing! -John Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/13373-compact-cranks/page/2/#findComment-253844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

linnega Posted February 19, 2008 Share Andrew - all you need is the crankset. Just make sure you buy compact cranks compatible with the BB you have. Shimano don't have any real range of options but other brands like FSA have a huge range of options for just about any BB type and pocket.
