Chain Widths Misinformation
So, in this case, the 11s chain should actually be narrower both internally and externally than an 8s chain, but the change had likely been first implemented with 9s or 10s.
For all I know, 6 to 11 speeds have the same inner diameter. Except for measurement error and building tollerances. If you don't find the time, I'll double check in the spring when the bikes start coming in again.
