When I'm in my LBS asking for an 11-speed quick link I get asked "mountain or road?". I say mountain as I've a XT drivechain, but just remembered that CRC did a bundle with a roadie-branded Shimano 11-speed chain. So is there any difference as far as the chain is concerned? I'm aware that road 11-speed have deeper cassettes but is that the only difference?

Chain is a chain, unless it's a symmetrical road one (like the early 6700's)

Yeah I think they're possibly trying to confuse me, or hearing "11 speed" and immediately asking road or mountain before realising it doesn't actually matter.

See where it says "Ultegra" and "Deore XT"? 😆

10 speed there is a difference. Whether or not it makes any difference.
