FSA Chain rings
Will FSA S9 chain rings work with a 10 speed? I see S-10 rings that say they will work with 9 or 10 speeds but not the other way around. I have found a whole set for a triple that I would like to buy if they will work.

Maybe .. teeth are thinner as the "speeds" count goes up.. chain has to settle over the teeth .

9 and 10-speed chainrings are so close in dimensions that the difference can be pretty much neglected. I've used a 9-speed crank (Ultegra FC-6503) with 10-speed chains and cassettes for thousands of miles with no problems. As to FSA chainrings and cranks in general, they have a checkered history so ,while it should work, no guarantees.

9/10 speed chainrings are interchangeable, if you look at Shimano rings, they have 9/10 speed stamped on them.
