Planning a somewhat hilly loaded tour in May, so I'm thinking of installing a shimano deore mtb crankset and fd, and a deore rd. Anyone know if these be compatible with the ultra narrow chain? Shifters shouldn't be a problem as I have bar-ends and will continue to use the campy cassette.
All modern 10 speed chains are very close to the same 5.9mm width, including Campy, Shimano and KMC.
I assume you'll be using friction shifting?
