Frequently Asked Questions

What fits Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100?

On this page we list rear derailleurs for this cassette, wheels with a compatible freehub, chains for this cassette. Each listing was matched on a specification we hold for both parts; anything we could not verify is omitted rather than assumed to fit.

Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100?

No. Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 is a 12-speed component and needs a 12-speed chain. Chains for different speed counts have different external widths and inner-plate profiles, which causes poor shifting or interference with the neighbouring sprockets.

Which wheels does Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 fit?

Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 needs a rear wheel or rear hub with a MICROSPLINE freehub body. It cannot be fitted to a front wheel, and it will not fit a rear hub built for a different freehub standard without changing the freehub body.
