Shimano CUES FC-U4010-2 Crankset w/ Chain Guard
Shimano CUES FC-U4010-2 - 2-piece crank with two chainrings and chain guard for city, touring and MTB
The CUES crankset FC-U4010-2, here in the version with a chain guard, was designed by Shimano for Linkglide drivetrains on city, touring and mountain bikes. It is suitable for 2x9-speed, 2x10-speed and, depending on the version, also for 2x11-speed derailleurs and produces a chainline of 48.8 mm. Therefore, frame over locknut dimensions of 135 mm and 142 mm are compatible. The Q-factor is 180 mm. The 2-piece design of the crank provides an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio and improves power transfer. The gradations are chosen so that it is possible to pedal harmoniously and smoothly on different types of terrain. The model is made of aluminium and steel. The four-armed steel chainrings are permanently installed via riveted joints. Thanks to the chain guard, your pants won't get caught between the chainring and the chain while riding.

Technology:
2-Piece CranksetWith the 2-piece designed cranks from Shimano, the right crank arm is precisely matched to the interaction with the bottom bracket. This increases the stiffness and keeps the weight low. Further spaced bearings also improve strength and contribute to more pedalling efficiency. The precision manufacturing of the bearings ensures easy installation and low maintenance. 2-Piece cranks share a 24mm axle diameter with Hollowtech II cranks, so they are also compatible with Hollowtech II bottom brackets.
