No big loss, it was a $20 chainring. I was hoping to get a bit more top end out of my middle gear, but its not a big deal.

Fyi, I think I got mixed up in my mind, having read that a 10 speed crankset will work with a 9 speed drivetrain...I mistakingly assumed that a 10-speed chainring mounted on an "8/9" (per the labal on my fsa crank) crank would also work, but it seems the spacing of the rings is too wide to work consistent.

What probably WOULD have worked, is putting the small ring on backwards, with some kind of spacer to move it a bit farther from the middle ring, bit not as far as it was when installed correctly.
