Hi Guys,
I'm in the process of looking around for a new tri bike, and may have a Cervelo P3 frame lined up for a good price (slightly used, but as good as new). I would like to go with the new Dura Ace 10-Speed Group Set when it comes out soon, but i understand that the 10 Speed Bar End Shifters wont be available for a little while. What I was thinking was getting the 10-Speed groupset, but using it with my 9-Speed Bar End Shifters and a 9-Speed Cassette and Chain until the 10-Speed Bar End shifters come out. Would this work? Would the Front Derailer and Front Chain Rings be fine with the 9-Speed Chain?
I know that if I don't go for 10-Speed I will regret it later down the track, but I cant wait to get the bike, you all know how it is!!!
Your advice is much appreciated.
Cheers
Jacko
