KMC X11EL vs Shimano HG-901 vs Shimano HG-701 chain weight

Показать описание
As I had the chains out I decided to compare the weights.

I've used all three chains on the same bike. For clarity, they're all 11 speed, they're all the same length (suitable for my build) and all clean and dry.

Some cosmetic damage on them, a little bit of rust on one of them where I was careless but nothing to modify the weights.

As you can see they were all compared on the same balance (scales) so at the very least it's a comparative measure. I'm not claiming my kitchen scales are calibrated so a pinch of salt on the exact numbers, obviously!

Note: I said the KMC chain link was reusable, well, it didn't say single use like the Shimano ones. Personally not had any issues reusing Shimano chain links a few times either but they say single use only - your choice though!

The kmc chains don’t like to hold immersive wax as well as Shimano. Worth considering.

just bought a Shimano Deore M5100 11 speed groupset (11-42) but I need the chain ... There are many nomenclatures that I honestly do not understand. I just want something that lasts and does not rust, which one would you recommend I use?

For the future, I'd prefer that you spoke louder and clearer. It's tough to hear you in this video.
