I don't think there is a difference with sram. But you never know. My white tarmac had all 10 speed , 1st generation Exogram Red, until I cracked the crankset. I replaced it with Red 22, which is 11 speed. Never adjusted the derailluer, it just worked.

I am going to change my chain this evening if I have the energy. I have been reading up that counterfeit Shimano chains are being sold on sites like Amazon and Scam-Bay....and the two 11s chains I have on the pegboard were bought recently from Ebay, so now I am worried I might be putting on a fake.
Fake chains? Sad!

I had a hard time trying to get any information about Campagnolo and what is compatible with what. The 11s crank works, I just hope it lasts.

What’s curious is it looks like the chain is legit but the quick link clearly is not.
Phooey.
I have 3 of these chains from two different sellers and they all appear to be the same.

Nope. That quick link is not legit. I have three CN-HG701-11 chains and the quick link looks like this (ignore the color in the photo, they are silver):

Btw, $48 for a pair of HG701-11 might be a clue. Trustworthy sites are wanting $35-45 for one.
Speaking from experience with counterfeit chains, I’d start carrying a chain tool with me. Mine would have a side plate give away, not at the QL. The QL would hold and the only fix on the road is a chain breaker.

I gave up buying any component parts from eBay or Amazon. As much as I hate to say it, @datlas, but I wouldn't trust those chains. I've had three chains that pulled the side plates out on a ride, two were SRAM and one Shimano. Looking back, I had other weird chain failures and I don't doubt that they were fake, too.

Had what I think must have been a fake KMC recently. It worked okay, but was so noisy I trashed it.

Who makes the best chains? Should I start a thread??
