I like the data-driven approach! What then becomes the motivation for manufacturers to spec derailleurs as lower than their true capabilities? Purely safety factor engineering, or the more generally common mix of profiteering + model hierarchy performance engineering + warranty claim reduction 'safety factor' engineering?
Hello, I'm looking for a cheap set. I was thinking about the new linkglide CUES CS-LG300-9 11-41T cassette. With cheap Acera RD-M3020 derailleur + old Alivio SL-M3100 shifter. My question is: Will this shifter work with the new CUES cassette? How do I check this? r3020 derailleur has interesting specifications.
Thank you! I have a CUES 9-speed shifter and I'm working on a video. It looks like the cable pull is 3.51 mm for CUES 9-speed. I'll release the shifter video in a few weeks.

Oh maan! Great stuff, love it
tbh i think all cues rd is pretty same in motion (except cage length)
ahh, you answered my question, it will not work as a replacement for my aging 9 speed groupset! Shame

It will not work. Cues is only compatible with cues parts
Nice measurement and video. But it only tells half of the CUES story. Do you have any of the CUES shifters at hand to measure their actual cable pull?

Well done. Low friction shifting sounds good.
