Frequently Asked Questions
What fits Shimano GRX-LIMITED REAR DERAILLEUR 11s (FOR 11-40/42T)?
On this page we list shifters that drive this derailleur, chains for this derailleur, cassettes for this derailleur. 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 GRX-LIMITED REAR DERAILLEUR 11s (FOR 11-40/42T)?
No. Shimano GRX-LIMITED REAR DERAILLEUR 11s (FOR 11-40/42T) is an 11-speed component and needs an 11-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.
Does Shimano GRX-LIMITED REAR DERAILLEUR 11s (FOR 11-40/42T) work with electronic shifting like Di2 or AXS?
No. Shimano GRX-LIMITED REAR DERAILLEUR 11s (FOR 11-40/42T) is mechanical, cable-actuated. Electronic groups use internal motors and proprietary signalling, so there is no mechanical or electrical path between the two.
