4 min read
Asked by: Austin Bell
Can you use a Campagnolo chain with a Shimano cassette?
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.
Are Campy and Shimano chains interchangeable?
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.
Will Shimano 11 speed cassette work with Campagnolo?
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.
Can you mix shifters and derailleurs?
In many instances, it is possible to mix different levels of shifters and derailleurs from the same brand (e.g. Dura-Ace/Ultegra/105; Red/Force/Rival; Super Record/Record/Chorus), however it’s not safe to assume that this will always be the case.
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.
Can you use a 10 speed chain on a 9 speed cassette?
The short answer here is “no”, but you may or may not notice (or you may notice but not be bothered by it). Using a 10 speed chain on a 9 speed cassette (or an 11 on 10) works because the chain is slightly narrower.
Can you use a 7-speed chain on a 9 speed cassette?
7-speed cassettes fit fine on 8- and 9-speed (and most 10-speed) hubs if you put a 4.5 mm spacer onto the body before the cassette. Click here for details.
Will an 11 speed cassette fit on a 10 speed hub?
Quote from video: And it will be compatible.
Will Campagnolo shifters work with Shimano derailleurs?
We’ve used Ergopower with Shimano front derailleurs with success, but a Campagnolo front with Ergopower shifters is ideal. You’ll need a 9-speed Shimano-compatible cassette to complete the package, which can also save weight over 10-speed cassettes.
Are Shimano 11 and 12 speed compatibility?
12-speed sprockets for road use are compatible with 11-speed wheels. The 12-speed sprocket for road use is shaped to be compatible with conventional 11-speed wheels, while increasing the number of slits in the freebody. In other words, it is compatible with both 12-speed wheels and 11-speed wheels.
Can I use a quick link with Campagnolo chain?
KMC 11s quick-link is NOT compatible with 11 Campagnolo chain.
How do you peen a Campagnolo chain?
Quote from video: To fit your new chain. Start by threading it through the front MEC over the cassette. And then through the ridge earlier decide with the label attached should be hanging by the chain ring.
Are Shimano 9 speed chains directional?
The Shimano CN-HG53 9-speed chain ensures smooth shifting. The Shimano CN-HG53 is a super slim 9-speed chain that enables smooth shifting even under load thanks to Hyperglide (HG) technology. It is suitable for MTB, touring and road bike use. There is no directional binding.
Are Freehubs interchangeable?
Most Shimano Freehub bodies are interchangeable.
Can I use 11 speed derailleur with 10 speed shifter?
Can An 11-speed Derailleur Work With a 10-speed Cassette and Shifter? Condensed Answer: Shimano’s 11-speed derailleurs have a different rear shift ratio than 10-speed derailleurs and are therefore not compatible with 10-speed indexed shifters.
Can you use a 11 speed cassette with a 9 speed derailleur?
With Campagnolo, yes. From 9 to 11 speeds, cable pull is the same.
Can a 9 speed derailleur work with 10 speed?
Theoretically a 9 speed derailleur will work with a 10 speed shifter and cassette. On the MTB side the change to a different actuation ratio was made at 10 speed, so a 9 speed MTB derailleur will not work with a 10 speed shifter and cassette.
