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, 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 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.
