  1. Anyone know if you can use a set of 9 spd shifters with an 8 spd set up temporarily.

    Not likely if you value good shifting.Shimano 8 speed cog spacing was 4.8mm and 9 speed is 4.34, and campy was 5.0 to 4.55mm. Not alot of rocket science involved here.

    If you've got the 9-speed shifters, why not just get a 9-speed cassette and chain and run 9-speed?
