You'll need Shimano TL-CN34 Shop Chain Tool 6/11-Speed or Shimano Tl CN28 Chain Toolto cut and fit the Shimano 11 speed chain on your bicycle.

Shimano TL-CN42 Chain Wear Indicator is practical to check when your chain needs replacement. (I advise you to use the CN-HG600-11 and change it every 5.000km instead of using a Durace-Ace grade and trying to keep it as long as you can, chain quality is important for smooth shifting)

NOTE: The CN-HG600-11 chain has a forward side and a reverse side. You must mount it with the marks on the links toward outside. This will ensure smooth shifting.

The Shimano 105 series CN-HG600-11 (HG-X11) is compatible with the following cassette:
Dura-Ace CS9000, Ultegra 6800, 105 series CS-5800, XTR CS-M9000, XT CS-M8000.
