hey every1, me again.
so i have bought a new chain because my chain tool showed my current one at being 75% worn.
i got the shimano 105 chain from merlin cycles (great service, ordered at 5pm and delivered next day!). BUT im worried because i have a compact and the back of the box says compatible only with shimano 105 double chainsets.
does that mean i cant use it?

well a compact is a double so I would suggest it's not a problem.0

so you think it will be ok?
god i hope so!
im attempting to fit it myself so i imagine i will be back begging for more help later.

It is the correct chain, have no fear!0

Just count the number of links and make sure that it has enough. A double runs a larger front sprocket so the chain may be longer than your current chain setup for a compact.
