A little premature, unless you know of someone who has one to measure. The sprocket spacing is bound to be close, just like Campy 12 and SRAM axs 12. The Shimano chain is the widest of the three. I've had no problem using the axs chain with Campy cassettes. I've got a shimano 12 speed XT chain on one of my axs bikes. Being a little wider, it may be a bit tougher to set up and it's not any quieter than an axs chain. Of course it makes sense to try the matching shimano chain, but if sprocket spacing differs by much, the narrower axs chain might be a better choice.

You missed that the Sram Flattop chain got different sized rollers...DaveS wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 10:22 pmA little premature, unless you know of someone who has one to measure.

I've explained that difference many times on this forum. People think that means incompatibility with other cranks, RDs or cassettes, but it doesn't. If anything it shows that standard chains aren't compatible with axs cassettes, but not the other way around. The axs chain follows the ANSI #40 specification and standard chains are #41.cerro wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:41 pmYou missed that the Sram Flattop chain got different sized rollers...DaveS wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 10:22 pmA little premature, unless you know of someone who has one to measure.
