Shake up of Shimano gruppos - CUES

The Duckmeister

Has a juicy midrange
Love the concept, not sure how they've managed to achieve the same pull ratio across 9, 10 and 11 speeds with wide range cassettes.
Easy, it's all essentially the same architecture; the cassettes all share the same sprocket spacing, just get wider overall with each added sprocket. In contrast to older 8, 9 & 10-sp. where the overall cassette width is the same, but the sprockets got thinner & closer together to fit each extra one in. 11-sp. got both wider overall and more closely spaced.

Older Shimano 7, 8 & 9-sp. road & MTB and most road 10-sp. share a common pull ratio, only the shift stroke differs to cover the respective sprocket gaps.

I’m pretty excited by the flexibility and customisation that this seems to be leading to. 46/32 2x mtb crankset already announced, and suggestion that this will replace the lower end road groups with cross compatibility.
The old 48/36/24 is the jizz factor if you can get them on your frame. It's hard getting the MTB FD that's suitable for the big chainrings these days.

Yeah, that’d be great.

I'm set up 2x11on the all rounder hard tail (42/32 and 11-42) but that’s the limit of what the derailleurs can handle. Even then,big ring is 4t bigger than the FD officially supports.
