Frequently Asked Questions

What fits Shimano MTB CRANKSET 2X8/7s (FC-M315-2)?

On this page we list front derailleurs for this crankset, bottom brackets for 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 MTB CRANKSET 2X8/7s (FC-M315-2)?

No. Shimano MTB CRANKSET 2X8/7s (FC-M315-2) is a 7-speed component and needs a 7-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.
