Miche Primato Light Shimano + KMC X11EL Combo

The Miche Primato Light Shimano + KMC X11EL chain with cassette combination shifts well and is a durable combination when it comes to wear. The KMC X11EL is a durable chain and stretches less quickly than other well-known brands, which saves your cassette from wear. The KMC X11EL chain is a very durable and smooth running chain for racing and mountain bikes. This chain combines a low weight with an unprecedented durability. The chain comes with a missing link to easily mount the chain after lengthening. The only thing you need is a chain punch. Then you can hook the missing link link at the top just in front of the chainring and give a short push or two on your pedal to click the link in place.

The Miche Primato Light 11 speed road bike cassette is suitable for riders of all levels. Available in a wide range of cassette ratios. The 11/30, 12/30, 11/32, are in combination with a 50/34 or 52/36 crank ratio suitable for short climbs, hilly to mountainous roads. Also suitable for flat roads when combined with 53/39. The 14/25, 14/27, 14/28 are suitable for young riders who want to ride with a junior or rookie gear and have a Shimano 11 speed fitting. The Miche Primato Light 11 speed cassette is made of durable, heat treated and chrome plated steel. It also features a laser burnished 7075 aluminum washer.

Assembly

Need tools?

• To cut the chain to the right length, you need a chain punch tool. You can find one here.
• To close the missing link, you need a pair of Missing Link Pliers. These can be found here.
• A chain wear gauge shows you when your chain is worn out, so that you can replace it in time. You can find them here.

Mounting a cassette
To assemble and disassemble this cassette you will need specific cassette tools. These can be found here. For further explanation and a detailed instruction on how to use these tools we refer you to our blog about replacing a cassette. See this blog.

Don't forget the assembly grease!
The lockring on your cassette should be tightened up, in most cases up to 40Nm. To be able to loosen the cassette, we recommend you to apply a little bit of assembly paste to the lockring. Our assembly greases can be found here.
