Are SRAM chains compatible with Campagnolo?

If you have a 10-speed Campagnolo (Campy) cassette, a 10-speed Campagnolo chain is the first option for compatibility. Shimano and SRAM 5- to 11-speed cassettes and chains will be compatible with each other, regardless of manufacturer recommendations.

Do you need a Campagnolo chain tool?

Campagnolo tell you to use only their own chain tool, called the UT-CN300, warning that 'use of another tool could result in failure of the chain, an accident, personal injuries or death.

Are bike chains interchangeable?

For example, a bike may have a SRAM® chain but Shimano® derailleurs, a Sun Race® cassette, and MicroShift® shifters. Some chains can be used between different brands. Consult a professional mechanic for recommendations.

Is Shimano chain compatible with SRAM cassette?

SRAM's cassettes and chains are compatible with all of Shimano's groupsets, and vice versa. Likewise, Shimano and SRAM buyers have the freedom to mix different levels of chains and cassettes so long as they are designed for the same kind of transmission.

Can you use a quick link on a Campagnolo chain?

KMC 11s quick-link is NOT compatible with 11 Campagnolo chain.

Are Campagnolo 10 and 11 speed compatibility?

In other words, Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed cassettes work just fine on each others' drivetrains. So, one way to use an old 10-speed wheel with an 11-speed drivetrain is to install a Campagnolo freehub body and Campagnolo 11-speed cassette on it.

Are Campagnolo chains directional?

While some bike chains are directional, most aren't. For instance, Shimano chains tend to be directional while SRAM, KMC, Campagnolo chains are non-directional. Directional components usually have logos facing outwards on one of the side plates.

Are Shimano and Campagnolo chains compatible?

Read this article, all 11 speed cassette works with all Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo drivetrain, meaning chain and RD and crankset, so the answer is the Shimano 11 speed chain and Campagnolo 11 speed chain are interchangable.

Are all 11 speed chains the same?

11 speeds

11-speed chains of all the manufacturers are mutually compatible. Since 10 and 11-speed chains (as well as cassette teeth) have almost the same widths, a 10-speed chain can be used instead of an 11 speed-one, without it jamming between the sprockets.

Are 10 and 11 speed chains the same?

Not only are they not the same, but the while everyone's 10 speed chains are compatible, the SRAM 11 speed MTB chain is different than SRAM 11 speed road chains. Shimano 11 speed MTB cassettes can fit on 8/9/10 speed hubs.

Are SRAM chains good?

“SRAM claim the world's longest-lasting chain with their XX1, and they are not kidding,” Kerin said. “Both the X01 and XX1 chains were so far ahead of any other chain from a pure elongation wear measure that I had to re-run the tests. The results were basically identical. Their longevity is phenomenal.”

Are Shimano and SRAM 12 speed chains interchangeable?

Verdict. So you can run a Sram chain on Shimano drivetrain, but this does not solve the less than ideal compatibility of a Shimano chain on Sram drivetrain, so personally I don't recommend mixing and matching components unless you keep both the cassette and chain from the same manufacturer.

Are KMC chains compatible with SRAM?

One of the main advantages of KMC chains is that they are compatible with Sram, Campagnolo, and Shimano drivetrains.

Are 7 speed and 8 speed chains the same?

Five, 6, 7 and 8-speed chains

Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo all use the same chain with 8 speeds. The chain for 7 speeds is a bit wider – 7.3 mm, while a 6-speed one is substantially wider – 7.8 mm.

What chain lasts the longest?

According to Adam Kerin, “SRAM claim the world's longest-lasting chain with their XX1, and they are not kidding. Both the X01 and XX1 chains were so far ahead of any other chain from a pure elongation wear measure that I had to re-run the tests.

Is SRAM better than KMC?

KMC chains are much better than Sram. KMC best chain is the Ti-Ni coating, but not with hollow pins and cut-out links. See below… The higher end chains seems to be better across the brands with the exception of any chain with hollow pin or cut out plates.
