Shimano Ultegra Triple FD question
I normally spend my time in Classic and Vintage, but this question is not vintage enough for them.
Can you successfully substitute an Ultegra FD-6603 (10 speed) for an Ultegra FD-6503 (9 speed)? It seems there are plenty of 10 speed FD's around and way too few 9 speeds, especially in braze on. There is some difference in cage design, though I can't compare them side by side.
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.

It will work. You might get a little more rub than usual when you crosschain, but many have people done it including myself.
