Will 8 speed crankset work with 9 speed chain?
Re: Are cranks interchangable 8 to 9 speed

7, 8, and 9 speed chains have the same inner width, but 9 speed chains have thinner outer plates for a thinner overall chain. So while a 9 speed chain works fine on a 7 or 8 speed drivetrain, it will be a weaker chain that tends to “stretch” faster.
