So, to be clear...the business end (back) is a SRAM 11-speed cassette. I'm on the second cassette on this bike, and it's always been driven by a Shimano 11-speed chain. Zero issues back there.
The front end (party!) is where I'm wondering about the engagement/meshing of chain to chainring...I did my normal short commute (10km) this morning to work on it, and all seemed fine.
