  1. I have a Trek 1000 with 8 speed Shimano 105 components. Is it possible to get an Ultegra rear deraileur, cassette, and shifters and move to a 9 speed?

    Can I add to this?

    What about 9 speed chains on 8 speed chain-rings?

    Yes, though your 105 rear der will work just fine with 9 speed, and you need a 9 speed chain as well.

    I've been using this set-up for 2 years, works just fine.
