You know, all you had to do was say, "no, they're not compatible", the condescending lecture doesn't serve any purpose.
BTW, what exactly is "cheap" about wanting to put into use a quality part, that I paid good money for, assuming there's no compatibility issues ? (which was all I was asking)

Not a bad suggestion, but i don't really hang with any other riders these days, plus, I do have a 9sp mtn bike (though it doesn't get nearly the use my road bike, does, and I installed a new chain and cassette late last year, so it'll be a good while before it needs a new chain).
