Does the CN-HG93 work with Shimano Alfine hub builds?

Shimano lists the CN-HG93 as a compatible chain for the Alfine FC-S501 crankset, which is used with Alfine internal geared hubs. Shimano's Alfine hubs are 8-speed and 11-speed, so there is no Alfine 9 hub.

Can I use the CN-HG93 on a standard 9-speed derailleur drivetrain?

Yes. The CN-HG93 is compatible with all Shimano 9-speed drivetrains, not just Alfine hub setups.

How many links does the CN-HG93 ship with?

The CN-HG93 ships at 116 links. Shorten to the correct length for your drivetrain configuration during installation.
