Frequently Asked Questions
What fits Shimano DEORE XT CRANKSET 48.8 MM CHAIN LINE 2X12s?
On this page we list front derailleurs for this crankset, bottom brackets for this crankset, chainrings that fit this crankset, chains for this crankset. 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 CRANKSET 48.8 MM CHAIN LINE 2X12s?
No. Shimano DEORE XT CRANKSET 48.8 MM CHAIN LINE 2X12s 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.
