Have a 105=equipped bike and looking for a chain in the sales I see some as “made for extra narrow drivetrains”.

Are all 11 speeds the same width?

Yes 11 speed is 11 speed etc.

If you want a nice chain that comes apart without tools I have used a few of the Wipperman Conex chains and have been impress with the finish and their inability to rust.

KMC or Sram chains are what I use, brilliant all round choices.

FYI - Decathlon boxed chains are KMC ones usually. Open the box, the chain is stamped up hehe

A pile cheaper

Technically so are the shimano ones, they just lack the KMC stamp wink
