  1. What 34T crankset will accomodate CUES linkglide system? No 34T in their lineup according to their website. Hallowtech would be better if there are other suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

  2. just ordered the Cues U8000 derailleur and the LG400 11-45T cassette today. Hopefully the U8000 derailleur is compatible with my shimano XT 11-speed shifter, i guess I'll find out in your video about the Cues shifters and derailleurs, lol. Thanks a ton for these videos I haven't seen any other videos on Cues that go this in depth. Oh also thanks for confirming that my existing KMC chain will work, I wasn't sure about that either.

  3. something i don't understand is, by introducing a new standard, why bother with 3 speeds, wouldn't everyone want the most speed they can get, hence eliminating the need for cross-speed compatibility, instead of making a groupset for each speed, why not just settle with 10 speed or 11 speed and be done with it, when would the compatibility come into advantage?

  4. I would be interested in testing the link glide cassette with the m8000 derailleur and shifter. I have heard that the link glide cassette is compatible with any 11 speed chain so can’t see why this wouldn’t work as m8000 has already proven to work with a 50t sprocket.

  5. Hello
    Thanks for the video.
    I have a question, I'm thinking about upgrading my bike. For 2×11 system. There is a smooth quick-release hub at the back with 135mm CS-LG400 11 with 11-45 teeth, would the FC-U4010 9/10/11-speed Crank 36/22 be a good match?
    Thanks in advance.

  6. I'm currently using deore m4100 gearing with single 32 teeth crank on my giant talon, I'm considering of replacing my deore crankset with Cues 40 teeth to have a better top speed on pave roads… are there any compatability issue i might encounter?

  7. Yes. I have a 10 speed and an 11 speed. They both have wide range cassettes up to 50. A 12 speed is over rated and unnecessary. But I am greatful for the 12 speed for making bikes that are not 12 speed much more affordable.

  8. I’m trying to piece together a LG drivetrain. I need i-spec EV and short cage.

    M8130 Shifter (i-spec EV 11s)
    M5130 10s Derailleur (want short cage)
    LG400 11-48T 10s apparently works with M5130 even though max 43T

    This should work?

  9. hello, 😊
    question please,
    i have alivio groupset,
    can i replace just the cassette and still use the alivio rd and shifter?
    maybe replace the 9s chain with 11s?

    my 11-36t altus cassette is due for replacement but i cant buy the whole cues set yet,

    thanks😊😊😊

  10. so my 5100 casette is lighter and i can already feel the weight difference between the 9 speed and this 11 speed. sorry for being a weight winnie but it does affect you the longer your ride is or the harder the climb.

  11. Nice, still 100 light years from Rohloff speedhub – 300k miles, not a single internal fault in 400k units produced… legendary reliability. Just saying, had my time of Shimano drivetrains

  12. I know its not the subject of the video, but despite the onset of 1x already many years ago…. I just can't get over the sight of someone holding a casette that's bigger than my front big chainring….

  13. I need help guys my cassettes chipped need replacemnt, I have a 3×9 speed xt drivetrain and I checked it on the shimano website but each cues series seems to cater different riding styles. I wanted something that can withstand races or high intensity riding not just casual use but only need 9 cogs, so is it better to go for cues 11s lightwieght and just take off 2 cogs and also future proofing when i need 10 or 11speeds on other builds or are there much better options ty

  14. Got the U4000 9 speed with 41T cassette. It's just perfect for touring/commuting. So glad cues was released before I upgrade. The durability will last me for years. My 8 speed tourney only lasts for 5000km for almost 2 years. I'll see how far the cues will take me.

  15. Nice to see some "new" components from Shimano to 9-11 speed bikes
    Not everyone has modern hub (to fit 12 spd) in bike
    Sram not supporting widerange casettes for 10spd anymore
    Only bad thing is weight – large steel cogs (50T, 48T) has a lot inertia – when You suddenly stop pedalling – casette still wanna turning a while itself.
    For me – not, i stay with Advent 10spd alloy-steel casette, but for middle motor e-bikes – yes!
    P.S.
    Another very positive aspect – when they put this product into market – still is a chance to buy decent deraileur for 9 or 10 spd from Shimano.

  16. Could you compare the shifting on Shimano HG+, Linkglide, and T-Type? You always cut through the BS and it would be nice to hear a closer-to-objective opinion on the matter.
    A few questions I have are:
    Is going to 12 speed HG+ worth it over 11s linkglide for an enduro bike? Is T-type faster shifting/does linkglide shift under power just as well as T-type?

    Thanks!

  17. I measured my cues lg cassette at 4.2mm cog spacing. Not even close to any current hyperglide cassettes. ie. 10 spd 3.95mm 11spd 3.76mm. So no, you cant fit a lg cassette with your current hg mech/shifter and expect it to work.

  18. It feels like Shimano is still falling behind Sram. In this case, Sram NX Eagle.
    I had a 2014 Merida Big9 HT with 20 speed SLX. Went with NX Eagle, voila, 1×12 system without replacing freehub. Even managed to shaved 500g off the total bike weight.

  19. Slow down. Shimano compatibility info states, that LinkGlide is only compatible with LinkGlide. That is you cant mix, for example: SL-M8000 + RD-M5100-SGS + CS-LG600-11.

    I hope it's just shimano being shimano and we can actually use LinkGlide CS with M5100 or M8000 components.

    If you have every component, that's quite an easy test 😉

  20. this video is evidence why 8 speed is best.

    suddenly i need an 11 speed chain…. just so my electric motor bike doesn't trash my cassette…

    nah. i'll pedal my 20 year old bike with OEM chain and cassette…
