Sorry if this has been covered before, but I've tried searching and can't find it.
I run an 8 speed drive, but want to upgrade my crankset as they are heavy, wide and too long. Will my 8 speed chain and 8 speed Claris FD run ok with this 9 speed tiagra chainset?

From other forums I've read, the general consensus seems to be "it might work but you might get chain rub". Wondered if anyone on here had direct experience of the issue. Thanks x
