GhostRider2 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 ... between road and mountain models? Could I use a 10 speed XT chain with a 105 group set for example?
Ysterperd Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Yea you can so long as both are 10spd, but I would not recomend it as the wear on mtb is quicker than road.
Zac.A Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 they used to be I think, but now for xtr and dura-ace they are different. (think, not too sure)
Chro Mo Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 XT and Dura-Ace are the same chain, as are Ultegra/SLX etc - says so on the packaging. Putting a chain used for MTB on a road drivetrain could accelerate the wear, I think.
Johan Bornman Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 A ten speed chain is a ten speed chain. Road and MTB are exactly the same and the wear rate is the same. Some of the newer Shimano chains are supposedly unidirectional and optimised to work with a certain groupset. Yet, that chain will still work with other systems.

Witness my 9spd chain working perfectly with my 10speed rear derailleur.....
