EPISODE 164 – Shimano Cues w/ Mike Stead

show notes

While the evil overlords of the bike industry force us to use disc brakes on our road bikes, D shaped steerers that seem to break quite often and internal routing that would confound a Jack Russell terrier, Shimano have gone totally off message and (gasp) released an entire family of components that work together effortlessly.

It is almost as if, in their Bond Villain lairs they are listening to us mechanics rant about non compatible shifters and press fit bottom brackets! Keep it up, folks. The ever insightful Mike Stead from Road.cc joins us for an in depth look.
