Thanks Patrick, that's great to hear. I'll give it a try. Pete On Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 11:19:12 AM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > With a 10 speed chains, I've only used Sugino and Vuelta, and there is no > difference in their performance. > > Note, I use a 42 in the middle position

Riv has said that these cranks aren't 10 speed compatible and others have said it's because the xd2 spider spaces the rings a bit too wide for 10 speed setups (either the narrower chain falls into the gap between rings or an indexed FD doesn't push the chain sideways enough to make the shift,
