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.

No. Shimano SLX MTB CRANKSET 178 MM Q-FACTOR 51.8 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.
