Just installed a new 9-speed Shimano chain on a 9-speed Shimano drivetrain. What could go wrong?
The chain feels wider than it should be, and jumps off the gears. The reason?
“In Shimano’s CUES series, the “LINKGLIDE” shifting system is used; however, the chains are compatible with the HYPERGLIDE system’s “HG-X 11-speed chains.”
“CUES sprockets are not compatible with drivetrain components made for the HYPERGLIDE”
So, buy 11-speed chains (that wear out faster) for your 9-speed system. Brilliant 🙄
One more reason to hate derailleurs for me, that's for sure. You know what's never wrong? a 1s chain on my gear hub.
