Shimano MTB CRANKSET CHAIN LINE 3 MM OUTBOARD 2X8/7s Compatibility Guide

Quick Verdict

Shimano MTB CRANKSET CHAIN LINE 3 MM OUTBOARD 2X8/7s is a Shimano crankset. It is a 7-speed component. Everything listed below was matched on a specification we hold for both parts: the interface each pairing actually depends on, such as freehub body, speed count, actuation or mounting standard. Where we could not verify that interface, the part is left out rather than assumed to fit.

Speeds7

How this list is built: a part is listed only when we hold the specification that decides the pairing for bothparts and those specifications match: the freehub body for a cassette and a wheel, the mounting interface for a chainring and a crankset, and so on. Each card shows exactly what was compared. Where we do not hold that specification the part is left out rather than assumed to fit, so this list is deliberately incomplete rather than speculative. Always confirm against the manufacturer’s own compatibility documentation before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fits Shimano MTB CRANKSET CHAIN LINE 3 MM OUTBOARD 2X8/7s?

On this page we list front derailleurs for this crankset, bottom brackets 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 CHAIN LINE 3 MM OUTBOARD 2X8/7s?

No. Shimano MTB CRANKSET CHAIN LINE 3 MM OUTBOARD 2X8/7s 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.
