  1. I upsold a customer on cues 9 speed for their e-cargo bike. I was impressed how much quieter the drivetrain was when shifting to the smaller sprockets. I attribute this to the linkglide technology. I recommend it for any e-bike with mid drive motors.

  2. This makes sense to me. I have zero need of a 10 tooth sprocket on my 12 speed shimano cassette. The durability would be really welcome too. I seem to a go through an XT or SLX cassette once per season. Seems silly and I don't really care about weight on my trail bike. But, I watched your video on using AXS with Shimano 12 speed and now I'm hooked (BTW, you never did a follow up after that video. Are you still running AXS with Shimano?)

  3. I think its pretty good and if installed on a newly purchased bike (regular or E) it could last the life of it. Having to use a crank puller…no big deal. This what you have if you just want to ride a bike and not think about charging, or replacing parts and performing maintenance. Great for the masses.

  4. It does looks a tad slower shifting. That would throw me off. If not for your video, I would think I didn't tune it correctly. 😅 Still sticking with the m5100, but that new crank does looks cool, just not the crank puller part. Haven't used one of those in a few years.

  5. Great Video and very informative.
    I installed a 6000 series 2×11 on my hybrid 700 bike with 50/34T chainring. So, I installed the cues RD-U6020-11 and 11-45T linkglide cassette ( replacing 11-28T), the new cues shifter and linkglide chain. I agree the shifting is delayed but I am now used to it and after 800km it runs very smoothly.

  6. As a mechanic, it's always funny to see, how some people " calculate" the length of the chain😁👍‼️
    I even don't try to understand the math, of adding 5 to 6 links or 6 to 7 links.
    From what reference line? From witch position? Rear Derailleur cage 90 degrees? (doesn't matter at all!)???????
    In work education school for mechanics, to install a chain properly, you always start with small – small, before cutting, try big – big ( 3 ring crankset 😂). And your adding mathematics, is only nessesery with Full suspension bikes, and I only do it at my DH Bike. Otherwise, the capacity of the rear Derailleur " makes" it for us. Especially, since 1 x anything 😁😎😁😎😂😂‼️

  7. A mix and march between 11s components for sure, not only for the linkglide cassete and m5100 compatibility but also the other way around, using linkglide components with older generation "light-ish" cassettes, some sunrace 11-46 for example. It may not make sense with this particular derailleur, being high range, but it may be a good setup with a m5130 for example, if it works

  8. I really like how people barelly use old stuff that works instead of the old stuff, that was really good a while ago, much cheaper and that in many parts of the world would be right way to go, because a carbon expensive bike is really not what you need, when you barely have roads without asphalt. :))). World under bubbles. Rich vs poor, the ugly truth. I'd literally have to do a train ride every weekend for such stuff, while going to the supermarket for shopping is definitely overkill this, if you want to also take into account possible thieves.

  9. Requiring a crank puller is a step backwards. Not really sure what Shimano is doing lately. I suppose this a more recreational group set where users aren’t likely to be wrenching their own bikes. 🤷‍♂️ Love my XT stuff for the most part but Shimano is slipping more and more rapidly. SRAM really pulled the rug out with UDH.

  10. Have I seen Unior tools wrench in your hand. Well that is an old company from Slovenia very well known for quality tools ever since Yugoslavia time, which I barelly remember as a small kid. I still remember my fathers Unior tool box made of metal. Their tools are really quality ones, shortly tools for life.

  11. I'm surprised you didn't need spacers for your BB. I tried to install that same BB on my wife's bike but her frame is narrow so tightening the CUES crankset without spacers left the cranks visibly offset towards the non-drive side.

  12. I use linkglide with XT M8130 derailleur. Can someone explain to me, what's the difference between CUES U6000 and RD-M8130SGS?
    Also, changing gears down the cassete is lightning fast on my setup.

  13. I would have loved to see the 11-51 Teeth cassette from M5100 make a Linkglide comeback, but I think that it won't be missed too much considering the already high count of Teeth at 50.

  14. Good video, I've just installed u6000 1×10 on my city bike and I've found the shifting to be very good, it shifts a bit slower than my 1×12 deore but a way to mitigate that is simply to spin the cranks faster.
