9spd. chain with an 11spd crank
Will a Campy 9 speed chain work/shift nicely with a Campy 11 speed crankset?

yes, i do it all the time and it's fine.
in fact, here is my bike running all 9sp running gear with a 12 speed crank, and even that works perfectly fine.

I’m using a 12 speed 48/32 Chorus crank with both 10 and 11 speed drivetrains. Works great. You might have a problem if you tried the reverse combo - a 12 speed chain with a nine speed crank.

Front derailleur shifting
I used to have an eight crank with 10 speed chain, rear derailleur, cassette, shifters. Crossing a road on my way home from work it would jam between the chainrings if I shifted under load. I stopped shifting the front derailleur crossing that road for several years. I eventually converted to 1x10. I had a couple scary crossings.

I found out on a track bike way back when that 1/8" chainring doesn't like 3/32" chain with probably equally scary results.. luckily teenagers bounce quite nicely |
