11 Speed Cassettes:
We recommend Shimano™, SRAM™, or KMC™ chains.
12 Speed Cassettes:
We recommend:
- SRAM™ Eagle 12s Chains
Compatible:
- YBN™ or KMC™ 12s chains
- SRAM™ Transmission or Flat-top chains
Compatible, setup occasionally difficult*:
- Shimano 12s chains
While other chains may work, we have extensively tested and used chains from these manufacturers, and we are confident that they perform well with our cassettes.
*SRAM flat top and Transmission chains use a slightly larger roller than "traditional" 12 speed chains. So far in our limited testing, these chains appear to work well with all e*thirteen cassettes.
