Hi,

Im just wondering if i can uses SRAM chain with my new Shimano Saint derailleur on my new build.

My new build is an Ellsworth Rogue, I have a Shimano Saint rear derailleur, 36t up front with LS1 chain device. I need a cassette and Chain. Im looking for something fairly tough, any suggestions

Cheers Paul

You can miz and match SRAM/Shimano chains/cassettes/mechs, however you can't mix SRAM/Simano shifters/mechs except for the front mech, which is compatible with both :P

you can use rocket and attack shifters by sram with shimano mechs.

I even advise mixing, shimano make the best gears (IMO) but awful chains,
High end SRAM chains are good, KMC x9 series are the best chains and stunning value (and indestructable)
