Warranty

SILCA publishes its written warranty, including what it covers and what it excludes, at silca.cc/pages/silca-warranty-information. We will send you a free copy of that warranty on request. Email support@hammerandhowl.com or call (206) 420-9548.

What's included

Not included: A chain tool or master-link pliers. The chain is waxed already, so do not degrease it before the first ride: the wax is the lubricant. You size the chain to your drivetrain with a chain tool, then join it with the SRAM T-Type Eagle Flattop PowerLock Connector in the box. Taking the chain off later needs master-link pliers, and the PowerLock is single-use, so use a fresh one each time the chain is joined. Many home mechanics do this job, and if you would rather not, any bike shop can fit it for you. Tell them the chain is pre-waxed, so it must not be degreased or oiled.

Will it fit your bike?

Compatible with

  • SRAM Eagle Transmission (T-Type) 12-speed drivetrains:
    • XX SL Transmission
    • XX Transmission
    • X0 Transmission
    • GX Transmission
    • Eagle 90 Transmission
    • Eagle 70 Transmission
  • Any SRAM Eagle Transmission tier (a chain from one tier works on another; the tiers differ by weight, pin construction, finish, and e-bike approval)

Not compatible with

  • SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrains that are not Transmission (which use a standard SRAM Eagle chain):
    • NX Eagle
    • GX Eagle
    • X01 Eagle
    • XX1 Eagle
    • Other hanger-mounted Eagle groups
  • SRAM 12-speed Flattop road drivetrains (which use a road-specific Flattop chain that does not interchange):
    • RED eTap AXS
    • Force eTap AXS
    • Rival eTap AXS
    • Apex eTap AXS
  • 11-speed, 10-speed and older drivetrains, and drivetrain systems from other manufacturers such as Shimano and Campagnolo
  • E-bike and e-MTB use: this is a lightweight race chain and SRAM does not approve it for e-bikes

Confirm before ordering

This is a pre-waxed SRAM Eagle Transmission (T-Type) 12-speed chain. If you are not sure whether your bike is Eagle Transmission, look for a rear derailleur that bolts on without a hanger. If you are still not sure, ask your bike mechanic or Hammer & Howl before ordering.

Eagle Transmission is SRAM's direct-mount 12-speed mountain-bike drivetrain, the one that bolts on without a derailleur hanger, and underneath the wax this is its Flattop chain.

The names are easy to confuse:

  • X0 Transmission is not X01 Eagle
  • XX Transmission is not XX1 Eagle
  • GX Eagle Transmission is not GX Eagle
