Most of the comments have been about quicklinks, where the OP asked about chain. Dunnoh about Maribels finding the 11spd are better
(metallurgically?) than 10 spd, but personally I have found that 10 spd chains work fine on 11 spd cassettes. This has been the case with
3 different bikes using KMC, SRAM and Shimano chains. Although I have a couple of 11 spd chains, 15yrs ago I found a surplus store selling
10spd KMC chains for $12 each so bought ~8 chains and perforce had to use them up. At 3-4k miles per chain that has taken awhile
hence my experience with use on 11spd cassettes. Also had a few Shimano and SRAM 10spds as well.
This is all on singletons, but in our ~25k mile tandeming years a chain would last maybe 1500-2k miles for a derailler chain and 6-9k miles on the
non-derailler chain.
