Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Mine has a 9 speed campy group on it. It's about time to replace the chain (w00t for races), but I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a campy chain.

It says on sheldon's website that the SRAM chain "works will all 9 speed derailer systems"........so can I just use any old 9 speed chain?
