The HG701-11 chain is a directional 11-speed chain designed for high durability. It has SIL-TEC surface treatment on both the roller link plate and pin link plate, making it more efficient, silent, and less maintenance - required. Thanks to its reinforced design, it's compatible with 11-speed road bikes, MTBs, and E - Bikes. Enjoy smooth and reliable shifting performance with this chain featuring a new chain plate dimension.
Using this Shimano chain is easy. First, make sure your bike is 11 - speed. If your old chain is off, just connect the new chain using the quick link. For installation, follow the direction arrow on the chain. When riding, you'll notice smooth and quiet shifting. As for maintenance, keep the chain clean. You can use a bike - specific chain cleaner and a brush to remove dirt and grime. Wipe it dry and then apply a light coat of lubricant regularly. This will keep the chain running smoothly and extend its lifespan. Avoid using excessive force when shifting gears to prevent unnecessary wear. And if you're using it on an E - Bike, remember it's reinforced, but still treat it gently for long - term use.
