Each pin uses a tapered guide end to pilot into the chain's side plate holes, then is pressed fully through with a chain tool until centered and flush on both sides. Once seated, the guide stub snaps off cleanly at a pre-scored perforation. A chain tool is required for installation — the pin cannot be seated by hand — and Shimano recommends the TL-CN34 or TL-CN28 for this job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThese pins are strictly single-use. The installation process flares the pin in place; removing it compromises the side plate hole and leaves a structurally weakened link. If you ever need to shorten or re-open a chain joined with one of these pins, break it at a different link — never at the previously pinned location. Part number Y0AH98030 is compatible with Shimano's full lineup of 11-speed road chains: the CN-HG601 (105-level), CN-HG701 (Ultegra-level), and CN-HG901 (Dura-Ace-level), covering every Shimano 11-speed road group from R7000 through R9150. Not compatible with 10-speed or 12-speed chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e Y0AH98030\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pins per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible chains:\u003c\/strong\u003e CN-HG601, CN-HG701, CN-HG901, CN-9000\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible groups:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 R7000, Ultegra R8000\/R8050, Dura-Ace R9100\/R9150\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chain tool required (TL-CN34 or TL-CN28 recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704873943084,"sku":"Y0AH98030","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/SHIMANO-11SPD-CHAIN-PIN.jpg?v=1774393010","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/shimano-11-speed-chain-pins","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
