Dura-ace crank compatibility
Im piecing together a 9spd dura-ace group for a frame I just bought. Is it possible to use an older dura-ace crank, pre-9spd? Im using downtube shifters and going for an oldskool look anyway so the aesthetics of an older crankset don't bother me.
Thanks

Yes. I use a Dura-ace 7410 crankset (8-speed) in an otherwise 9-speed drivetrain.
