We're looking for a new Front Of House person to join our team! STOLEN TODAY - please share far and wide. Coming soon* to a bike shop near you, Shimano's new CUES groupset aims to simplify and strengthen entry-level and e-bike drivetrains. It's built to be robust and retro-compatible, the cassettes include wide (11-50t) ranges for 1x drivetrains and are entirely steel, and the chains are designed to be longer lasting. The derailleurs have clutches and the chainrings have alternating thick and thin teeth, to prevent chain drop. For workhorse bikes it seems like a great idea. Bit of bling. Our first build with a @classified.cc hub, Mark's lovely @mason_cycles Bokeh got a major upgrade yesterday. Wheels by @_owenwheels (of course), this bike now has a 1x11 GRX drivetrain, but the range and gears of a 2x11. There are many different ways to wrap bar tape. Most of the time we use the most common one where you start at the bottom, but David asked for a top-down "tapeless" method on the bars of his gorgeous S-Works Tarmac.
