Quick Shimano Compatability Question

[pjmsj21]

Can I use a 6600 crankset with 6800 drivetrain?

[vqdriver]

basically asking if 10sp cranks work with 11sp drivetrain. in my experience, yes. nothing other than the chain will know, and mine couldn't care less. have at it.

[RacerJRP]

Yup, this will work. Maybe the tiniest little bit of chain rub on teh FD cage at teh extremes, but otherwise no issues.

I'm using a CX-70 crankset with a 6800 drive train and it works but there's some rubbing. It's noisy when you get close to cross-chaining but otherwise works fine.

Ask that question on the S-Tec forum and you'll get 'the sky is going to fall if you run a 10sp crank on an 11sp system!'

...because that's the company line.

AFAI can tell, it works just great. Go for it!

I'm even running a 6800 chain. No problem.

With the positional nature of the shimano shifter/fder and with chainrings a little farther apart on a 10s crank, 'may' get some chain to fder rub at highest or lowest gear.
