    I need new chain rings for my Kona AA, but I can't seem to find 4-bolt 8 speed rings anywhere,
    everything is 9 speed now. I found a shop that has some RaceFace 4-bolt 9 speed rings on sale, would
    these work with an 8 speed chain and gear system? Has anyone tried this before? Will my front
    derailleur still shift smoothly?

    Yes - no worries.
