howdy. runined my triple crank trying to remove it to replace the bearing on my square taper bottom bracket (which I still haven't been able to remove either). Needing something quick and in the mood for treating myself I ordered a shimano 105 triple crank and cups from chain reaction. Just discovered that its for a 10sp system. Mine's an 8sp. Are they compatable? Is it a chain size issue? Please help.

As what Tony says: I dont think it will be an issue as 10sp stuff is narrower so the wider 8sp chain should fit on ok.

Not an issue at all,itll work just fine,but you should have your BB shell faced at your LBS before fitting the outboard cups.
