Question. I am trying to wrap my head around the whole, 7 8 9 speed thing. I have 7 speed cassette in the rear, the crank I found that I like is a 9 speed crank. This just refers to the spacing and size of chain right? Can i use the 9 speed chainring and crank with my 7 speed cassette?

Here what I was going to get: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YP4WAA/ref … 4YU3&psc=1

I liked the idea of an external BB too.
