1. • • To start, make sure the chain matches your drivetrain. Single Speeds and fixed gears will have either a 3/32” or 1/8" drivetrain. Both works with some pros and cons. Just make sure the chain you choose is compatible. Fortunately, 1/8" chains work on 1/8" and 3/32” drivetrains while 3/32” chains only work on 3/32” drivetrains.

   Can a Shimano 10 speed chain be replaced?

   • It's not complicated; you replace like with like – 11-speed with 11-speed, 9-speed with 9-speed, and so on. If your bike has a Shimano Tiagra 10-speed groupset, a straight replacement would be a Shimano Tiagra 10-speed chain, but you could go and buy a new Shimano Deore HG54 10-speed chain, and that would work too.

   Are all bike chains the same?

   • Most modern bike chains are all of the same design - be it for single speed, fixed riding, geared riding or even e-bikes. The only exception would be “bushing chains”, which are a traditional chain design that pre-dated bike chains (and described below) and are still found on heavy-duty single speed or track chains.

   What size chain do I need for a single speed bike?

   • The only thing that varies is the width, or the distance between the 2 inner plates. For single speed, it will be either 3/32” or 1/8". This is important for compatibility discussed below. The other factor is the chain length, which will depend on your bike size and gearing ratio.

   Which bike chain should I buy?

   • A casual single speed rider will probably be okay with a more basic chain. A commuter or heavy use rider will most likely want a chain that lasts longer. A performance rider may want lighter weight or lower friction. And, a fixed rider - especially brakeless, may want a very strong, highly-durable chain to avoid the catastrophe of a broken chain.

   Do bike chains need to be replaced?

   • If your chain does need replacing, here's how to choose the right one. Bike chains might all look fairly similar, but they come in various widths to suit different drivetrains. The number of sprockets on your cassette (the cluster at the centre of the rear wheel) is essential. An 11-speed chain is narrower than a 9-speed chain, for example.

   Can a 12 speed chain be used with a Shimano MTB?

   • For example, SRAM Eagle 12-speed chains can’t be used with 12-speed road rear derailleurs and vice versa. While you can mix some 11-speed Shimano and SRAM components, it often makes for a noisier drivetrain. Shimano 12-speed road groupsets use the same Hyperglide+ chain as its 12-speed MTB groupsets.

   Jan 18, 2021 · Looking for singlespeed chain recommendations. I've always used the SRAM PC1 but never been that reliable and seems to wear out and snap quite quickly. My current chain has just about reached the end of its life so might as well upgrade it to something more reliable.
