Need a low cost replacement in a hurry for a broken mech - I'm a bit lost with shimano these days. Both appear to be top normal 11 speed with a direct mount......?
no the cable pull ratio is different afaik
I think so based on this:
https://www.drivetrainbuilder.com/SL-M5100-RD-U6020-10-11.htm#compat
The internets seems to suggest cable pull is very close between Shadow and CUES...
Thanks guys - its for a colleagues sons bike - I think he'll just get another Cues to be sure - its only £15 difference
if you buy the linkglide deore m5130 mech then its compatible with the cues shifter, the issue will be that Cues U6020 is meant for a 2x setup and the 5130 is for a 1x and has a clutch.
Cues mechs are discounted all over the place as well £37.99 at Bikeparts for example
