Ask a Mechanic: Understanding Shimano's Chain Nomenclature

Description

In this Ask a Mechanic, brought to you by Art's Cyclery, VeloNews, and Greg O'Keefe, Scott needed a new 11 speed chain for his drivetrain and didn't know which one to buy. Over the years, Shimano has waivered between using the same chains for both road and mountain drivetrains. 10 speed chains were complicated, however, moving forward, Shimano has simplified things in their 11 speed chain lineup.
