What size chain for Shimano CS-M7771-10 (11-36T) cassette? What width chain is compatible with this cassette?
I've seen non-Shimano chains online claiming compatibility with all Shimano 10-speed cassettes but their stated widths (nominal? actual?) don't have the same width as the Shimano 10-speed chains, though I'm not sure if even they are compatible with this cassette. So I clicked on the QR code of the little sheet of paper inside the box and opened the Shimano &quot;users manual&quot; (UM-1M90A-003). It is a single page with absolutely no useful info on it.
There’s no need to worry about specified width. The bottom line is that any 10 speed chain from a reputable manufacturer (Shimano, SRAM, KMC, Wipperman) will work fine with a Shimano cassette.
