I use the 6700RD with a 9x2 speed , closely spaced, HG cassette, the Connex
908 chain, and Silver DT shifters on my Ram. This may be the best shifting
I have ever had, including SIS. it's not obvious to me that 10 speed
offers recreational riders enough advantage to justify the added cost and
I like the look of the Ultegra and like the Alfine single ring with
chainguard even more. Have one on my Surly Cross Check. The lines just
seem to flow in a way I like. And the Q factor falls into the range I
happen to prefer. Guess having fat thighs can have an advantage.

I like the dark grey Ultegra cranks. Don't tell anybody..

So last night I took the drivetrain off the Sam Hillborne and replaced it
with the Ultegra stuff. 6700 RD, Crankset, BB and an older Campy FD
because the Ultegra is for braze on and I don't currently have a clamp for
it. It seems to be working fine with the 7 speed freewheel; I will do a
test
I'm not seeing all the posts. I see NOW others have posted essentially
the same thing. Sorry. What's up with my Gmail?

I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere you can use the narrower chain
on the wider cassettes, but not the other way around, So if that's the case
even if they change the space for the chain on the deraillers one should
still be able to backwards apply the technology.

A 10 sp chain will work with any ~3/32 cogset, from 5 to 10. It's when
using "lower number" chains with "higher number" cogsets that you
sometimes (not always -- I've found that 9 sp chains work fine on some
10 sp cassettes) have problems.
Odd: the Surley Dingle 2-speed fixed cog needs at least a
this was actually going to be my next question. Do you think I should just
use the 8 speed chain that I have already (take a link out or two) or go
with the 10 speed? Will a ten speed chain work with a 7 speed freewheel?
I do love the fact that with friction shifting it makes it so much eas
He'd probably not use a 10-speed chain, since he has a 7-speed freewheel.

On my Coho..Sram Red FD and RD w/ 9 speed cassette and Silver dt
shifters. No problems. I would probably prefer 7 or 8 sp, but just
don't have enough motivation to switch.

You'll probably need the Shimano cranks. That 10-speed chain will fall between
the rings of your Sugino.

Yeah, it's pretty ugly. Frankly, all the recent Shimano cranks are ugly as
sin. I will probably just stick with the Sugino.
Thanks for the suggestions from everybody, seems like it may be a good idea
to change the chain to a 10 speed too (which I have on hand anyway).

Bike aesthetics are not that high on my list of priorities but that Ultegra
crank is damn ugly, even to me. Use the derailers but stick with the
Sugino, IMHO.

As long as you can thread some 8-speed chain through the rear derailer
pulleys without scraping the sides of the cage, I don't see a problem using
it. I don't recommend changing the front, though. My experience with
9-speed derailers and 8-speed chains is that a lot of trimming is involved
