  • Isn't 8/9 speed chains are generally stronger than the 10/11 speeds one?
    .

    Well they are thicker. Don't know if they are defiantly stronger.

    The gaps between the plates are narrower of course. But the plates can be the same thickness. The gaps are not contributing to strength.

    I have 10 speed MTB, and 11 speed road stuff. You may need to be a bit more precise with set-up. But then that'll reduce wear anyway.

    The only reason I'd go 9 speed shimano. Would be to mix and match road and mtb components. But as you can do this with 10 speed Sram I would'nt bother.
