I know I recently read a few posts about someone asking if you could use an 11speed chain on a 10speed crank and cassette. The jist of my recollection is that, yes you can run an 11sp chain on a 10sp cassette, and that it may actually run better due to more allowance in the shifting spacing (ie: the narrower chain allows for greater deviation between cogs, and thus less precise shifting) (and yes, I am running mechanical 10sp shifters).
I'm getting ready to order a new chain, possibly the Premier Tactical 11sp, and I just want to make sure that it can be run on a 10sp drivetrain. The idea does seem to make sense, as the spacing between the 10sp cassette cogs is greater, and the 11sp chain is narrower, so thus there is a wider range of shift point with which the chain to settle in on.
Thoughts, ideas, comments, experiences..... all with great thanks in advance.
