I don’t think I’ve seen something like this before. Differences laid out clearly and concisely. There’s some marketing but overall it’s pretty spare, sticking to what would be relevant to a potential customer.

How I’m responding now to anyone that asks what bike to buy
first ask yourself if you want to pedal for performance or ride in comfort.

Too bad hardly anyone asks me, not even my own mom. That’s how she ended up with a purple Walmart Schwinn. The color is real nice tho.
But holy crap, this is working on me

But all the bigger bike brands tell me I can have performance AND comfort at the same time!

Did I miss this in earlier CUES chat? The arms on the 8000/6000 level CUES cranksets are hollow forged?
This seems at odds with the specifications page:
Can’t find weights for either crankset, seems more like a miscommunication somewhere.

no, that’s correct. FC-U8000, FC-U6040, and FC-U6010 are hollow forged. FC-U6030 and FC-U6000 are not.
The checkmark next to “Hollowtech II” means it has hollow arms. If it’s a solid arm with a weight-relief scoop out the back, but still uses a Hollowtech BB, the “2-piece crankset” is checked instead.
The “Hollowtech crank arm” line appears to be for octalink cranksets that are also hollow-forged arms

I thought HT I was octalink BBs and HT II is crankarm with integrated 24mm spindle and external BB cups, and doesn’t relate to the arms being hollow or not (eg FC-4500 is HTII but C arms).
And a ‘Hollowtech’ crank arm is the one with the hollow forged arms (not sure what the current glued arms are referred to as)
it’s a complete mess of marketing mumbo-jumbo and they’ve overloaded the term “hollowtech” to refer in different places to either the BB or the crank arms, and exactly how they refer to things has changed over time

Did you actually make a prototype for that, um, solution?
i didnt make shit.
but yeah surly 3d printed some shit that probably can be ridden for several minutes.
Hopefully out of plastic, because that would have been perfect.
