Hello All,
Will a rear 8/9sp derailleur travel enough to support a 10 speed cassette, or do you truly need a 10 speed version? I've read that a 9sp will reach over enough to support the other cog. Reason I ask is I have a Campy Chorus 9sp version, but I want to use a 10sp cassette. Wondering if I have to upgrade to a 10sp derailleur. Does anyone have real world experience with this? Does it work or not?
TIA,
Whooosh.....
p.s. wonder if same is true for 10sp/11sp for future upgrades??
