Just purchase 2004, 9 SPEED,TT bike. Found out that the front Dura-Ace derailer is for a 10 speed. Very little clearance for the chain. This may not be a problem since I have aero-bar end shifter which require trimming. Do you see any problems?
Thank you

Thank youNO, but if it really bothers you,run a 10 speed chain.

I wouldn't worry about it unless there's constant rubbing. And since its a TT bike I dont think you would be doing a lot of front derailleur shifting. I wonder though how could your LBS mistakenly put a 10-speed front mech for a 9-speed bike?

[Found the problem. Front deraillur is for a 10 speed. Bike is a nine speed with a nine speed chain. Very small trimm adjust window, any frame flex and I get chain noise. The nine speed bike came with the 10 speed deraillur.
