    It should be fine. I’m running a 10 speed cassette and chain with old ‘7 speed’ chainrings. The only time I think you are going to have problems is if you try to run any 8-9-10-11 speed chain on a single speed set-up designed for 1/8 inch chains.

    Don’t know if this is much use to you but I once swapped from 9 to 10 but swapped back.

    I then used the 10spd chain on the 9 spd block – no probs.
