@joshpearson2529Ай бұрын
@@reazmohammed999 Almost no drawbacks. This is my first MTB groupset I’ve owned, I’ve only ever had road bike groupsets so I can only compare with them. I wish the derailleur didn’t have a clutch, as it’s not needed for my commuter bike that will never go off road. A lot of reviews say that the U8000 derailleur is slow at shifting, I disagree. I had my groupset fitted by a professional mechanic and after 4-5 weeks of bedding in and cable stretch, it shifts as good as Ultegra R8000 Road groupsets without doubt. The only other slight negative is its a slightly more noisy than my road groupsets, I assume it’s the fact that the Link Glide chain is wider than Hyper Glide chains. Apart from that, really happy how robust and solid the U8000 groupset is, it feels as if it will last decades, hope this helps.

Witam W kwestii CUES 11S pracuje dobrze, i przy okazji montażu całej grupy wyszło szydło z worka. Okazuje się że kasety 11S i 10S mają tej samej grubości zebąteki i podobne odstępy między nimi, dlatego kaseta 11S jest ciut szersza od innych grup Shimano i nie tylko. Cues 10S i 11S pracują na łańcuchu 10S. Jedenastka na standartowym łańcuchu 11S ma problemy z normalną pracą prxy zmianie biegów w obu kierunkach. Po założeniu łańcucha 10S (konkretnie KMC 10EL) pracuje dobrze ale i tak kupię orginalny Linkglide żeby ocenić jak ten uklad pracuje (i przy okazji pomierzę szerokości łańcuchów dla porównania).

So close! With RD-M5100 and CUES cassette, use SL-M4100-IR which pulls more cable! I use CS-LG300-9 11-41 for narrower chainline, as well as CS-LG400-10 11-48. CS-LG700-11 for alu spider. Is only first gear on Deore 11 thicker? Rest should be 1.6mm. A feeler gauge will show this without disassembly.

Let me explain a little. All cues system is based on the Shimano 10 speed HG system. The distance between the centers of the stars of cassettes cues 9, 10, 11 is the same as on a 10-speed hg. The choice of shifter was initially wrong. In addition to cues, only the m4100, m6000, m780 shifter will work on cues casste. m5100 don't work

You've got to switch to a LINKGLIDE chain to boot!!! (CN-LG500-11 for 10/11-spd and CN-LG500-11 for 10 or 11-spd) and then retest the M5100-11 setup on the CUES U6100 cassette (CS-LG600-11) again. You mistakenly call in U6000...whereas the U6000 is the 10-speed cassette in this same series. Btw I recent replaced a worn out cassette on my older 2012 model Opus Sequence cross/commuter bike with a 9-speed Road-style Shimano drivetrain, the 3000 series SORA rear-derailleur (RD-R3000-SS), with older dropbar brifters (ST-R3000) with a too tight 11-25T grouping cassette (SORA CS-HG50). When the life finally gave out and it was skipping on the old chain paired with OEM cassette I finally replaced it with an upgrade to CUES! The wider range 9-speed CUES/Linkglide Cassette 11-36T (CUES U4000, CS-LG400-9) + Chain (LINKGLIDE CN-E6070-9) seem to operate quite well with the old rear derailleur and brifters. I did have to add the Wolf-Tooth Road-link to provide enough clearance to the derailleur to climb above it's max designed 32T limit to reach 11-36T (on the CS-LG400-9) because I had the short cage SS version and not the longer GS version. I think the SORA rear derailleur will stretch to 34T if the B-tension screw is long enough...but no more on it's own. This new U4000 cassette is also available as 11-41T & 11-46T. The smaller cogs are all: 11-13-15-17-20T on the CUES...which is different from SORA's bottom-end: 11-12-13-15-17-19T... but on my commute I will not miss those incremental gears and certainly enjoy the bigger range on the hills with a panier sack! -cheers

Presumably if the non Cues cassette works perfectly with the otherwise Cues setup, it'll work the other way. ie. if you have an otherwise HG drivetrain you could use a Linkglide 11 speed cassette without issues if longevity and smoothness were your priority over shift speed and weight. In other words the cassettes are interchangeable. Changing the pull ratio was completely unnecessary and a cynical move if you ask me ... making things incompatible because you can rather than because you need to, but at least 11 speed Cues and 11 speed HG seem to share the same cog pitch.

I am interested in seeing if you can use the cues/linkglide cassette with a non cues/linkglide 11 speed drivetrain, not using the 50T cues/linkglide cassette but the 45T one
@LoveMTB4 ай бұрын
I thought I did the test...
@aaronpyre4 ай бұрын
You used a 11-50T cassette not the smaller 11-45T cassette. Based on your test & some of your other comments you have only tested the 11-50T cassette not the 11-45T. You stated in a comment that the capacity issue of the non cues/linkglide 11 speed derailleurs don’t have the big cog capacity to take a 50T. My question is can they take the cues/linkglide 11-45T cassette that is within their capacity & thus they might shift better because they aren’t being pushed beyond their capabilities
@LoveMTB4 ай бұрын
@@aaronpyre Because of the pull ratio and the spacing of the cassette I don't think it would work well regetdless of the cassette. And where did you see an 11-45T CUES cassette? They have 11-46, 11-48 and 11-50 for the 9, 10, and 11 speed?
