FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Shimano
There's more to Shimano than this one product. Our Shimano page has the full Shimano lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Shimano page →Does a bottom bracket come included?
No. The FC-M311 requires a separate square taper bottom bracket. Check your frame's BB shell width (typically 68mm or 73mm MTB) and spindle length before ordering.
Can I replace the individual chainrings on the FC-M311?
No. The chainrings on the FC-M311 are riveted in place and are not individually replaceable. When the rings are worn, the full crankset needs to be replaced.
What drivetrains is the FC-M311 compatible with?
The FC-M311 is compatible with 7- and 8-speed Shimano MTB drivetrains using a matching 3x front derailleur and 7- or 8-speed rear shifter and cassette.
