Cup of tea question?
Fixing a bike for a mate, He is 10speed, I have no 10 speed, but a 11 speed chain.
Should I put it on? I would like to as I can then return the bike tonight all sorted.
But will it be sorted?

It will be fine. 11 speed chain is a little bit narrower.

It’ll work better than the 10 speed chain (based on my experience).

I've done a few thousand turbo trainer miles with an old 9 speed rear wheel my otherwise 11 speed road bike (Dura-Ace/XTR chain) with no issues.
