Pick a number of holes in your crank and be a dick about it?
Now that I think about it, a crank that allows for multiple pedal possibilities really is the agnostics crank…
Thems fighting words for a 3 hole cranker, a 2 hole cranker would burn your house down.
Pretty small holes, but if yours fits have at it, threaded for your pleasure.
fingers crossed this means no more shitty 2x/3x entry level bikes…
Or maybe there are folks out there with good working bikes that have more than one chain ring up front, so they still have the option of these lower priced stuff or if needed, can splurge on the upper level stuff.
stuff works only with 11speed chains
NSMB.com - SHIMANO INTRODUCES THE CUES "ECOSYSTEM"
CUES replaces a number of Shimano legacy drivetrains with inter-compatible 9, 10, and 11-speed LinkGlide drivetrains.

2 chainrings seems to be popular on gravel and city bikes. Cues seems to aimed at those and mtb too
I'd hold for FSA's gruppo:

This doesn't sound correct:
But maybe I am just dumb.
linkglide or hyperglide?

I had no idea my pictures were so old
So the spacing of 9, 10 and 11sp cassettes is the same, and the 9sp cassette is narrower than 11sp?
nah that's just how long it feels like i've been waitingI had no idea my pictures were so old
i understood it that each shifter has the same cable pull per click, but each derailleur moves differently, so you need 9s cassette with 9s derailleur but could use it with a 11s shifter if you limit 2 gears
This is the most comprehensive piece about this new CUES gruppo line:

Shimano Cues kills off Alivio, Acera and Altus, with Tiagra to be phased out
New 9-, 10- and 11-speed drivetrain components replace all of Shimano's low-tier components, simplifying specs and boosting compatibility

But that means different pull ratios, and 11sp chain possibly too thin for a full 9sp spacing? Anywho, who cares.
The cassette has thicker teeth, and the 9sp one isn't as wide as the 10 or 11 speed ones. You can use a 10 or 11 speed shifter with the 9sp cassette if you set the limit screws correctly, but you'll have one or two false clicks in them.But that means different pull ratios, and 11sp chain possibly too thin for a full 9sp spacing? Anywho, who cares.
It doesn't. It's just thicker at the sprocket base but designed to take a standard 11spd chain. Which puts their 300% MOAR drivetrain durability claim straight in to the bullshit marketing category for me. In reality probably a 30‰ increase in drivetrain life at a push

If they made it for us the picture would be people in full DH gear riding Enduro bikes on the same trail.
