Cant find a Shimano 11 speed chain

[Andy.M]

I need a new chain for my Focus. The correct one is a Shimano CN-HG601 11 speed. As far as I can tell they come in 116 or 126 links. I need a length of 120 so need the longer one. All I can find is 116.
Any pointers would be appreciated or indeed alternative chain suggestions that would work with Deore XT 8000 components?

Something like an SRAM PC-1110 would work fine with your setup. It might even give longer life. They're cheap and normally available if you look around. A lot are only 114 links though so you might need to go for a different model if you can't find the correct length in stock.

I usually use PC110 on shimano 11sp but stock seems down and I hate paying more than a tenner for a chain as I like to swap them earlier and preserve the rest of the drive chain

I had to buy the 1130 last purchase and a KMC

XT will pretty much shift with anything .. it’s a proper workhorse that just keeps working

Thanks for the info. I just imagined you had to stick with the same brand as im relatively new to this malarkey.
The PC1130 arrived next day and is the right length out of the box!
