Eddy surely wouldn't know about 126mm spacing...

True about 8 v 9/10 Chicken, apparently you can get it done but the parts to do so are hard to find.  Just wait for 11 speed and upgrade everything at once Smiley

oh i have had some nice old classics in my time (s^^t heaps)... Smiley

11 speed will be giving us the same head aches in no time...

This one is so true, just like my comment. The pros are riding no faster with 10sp than they were with 5sp all those years ago. The only thing it really means to us is we go through chains quicker. The chains get narrower, and lighter, and guess what... It means they wear show much faster.  Grin
