Shimano releasing a silver-ish Cues groupset is exploding all over my bike media feed. Here is the Radavist's reporting on it <https://theradavist.com/shimano-special-edition-silver-cues-1-x-10-speed-components>
The only portion of interest to me is the 10 spd mechanical shifters and rear derailleur. (FYI, Radavist left out the mechanical option in their reporting, but it's on the Shimano website) I guess maybe the silver rear hub too? Though it's only in a centerlock disc version as far as I can tell. But overall I think it's pretty underwhelming. I would have jumped on this a decade ago, but in those intervening 10+ years I answered the question of "How do I do a 10 spd silver dropbar mechanical setup?" several different ways. But it's not even a completely silver RD (though they did do the harder to modify upper in silver, so that's a plus. It'd be fairly straight forward to modify the cage to be silver I suspect.) And only 10 spd mechanical? Would've been nice to see an 11 spd that could handle 11-50 cassette. Maybe I'll get one for my wive's Dropbar Platy. I do think the silver Cues shifters would look better on it than the black Microshift R9's that I put on there... But I also just put it on there so not keen on immediately replacing it. And I don't know much about the Cues system overall, does it have the same pull ratio as older 10 spd or less Shimano? I guess Russ probably has a video somewhere explaining it.... Anyways, would love to hear others thoughts. Might be perfect for new Roadini owners??? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
