Overview
Shimano's CN-M6100 is a roller chain from the Deore range, supplied with a Quick Link for connecting the ends. The links are alloy steel, the chain is a single strand, and the finish is silver.
A matched Deore chain suits owners of a Deore drivetrain at the same speed count. The listing is sparse, with no mention of coating or a wear limit.
Who it's for
Riders on a twelve speed drivetrain who want a Shimano replacement get a standard part with its link included. Anyone running fewer speeds, or who wants coating or weight specs, should look at other chains.
Pros and cons
- Matched to twelve speed Deore
- Quick Link simplifies installation
- Alloy steel construction
- Single strand roller chain
- Coating details are not listed
- Chain wear limit not described
- Spare link count unspecified
Performance notes
A twelve speed chain is narrower, so it must match the cassette and chainrings in speed count to shift correctly. The quick link joins the chain ends, as the title states.
