9 Shimano CUES-Equipped Mountain Bikes That Won’t Burn Up Your Bank Account

The CUES system is top contender for my next drivetrain. With two groms mtb and commuter bikes, spouse mtb, my own two possible three bike quiver, and two e-cargo bikes to keep rolling it all really starts to add up. The bigger thing I keep thinking about is aligning all the bikes onto the same drivetrain and brakes to simplify keeping spares on hand. Keep 3-4x of the same chain on hand for when one wears. Same for brake pads. Currently it's real mish mash of stuff and trying to keep spares on hand at home just doesn't work. Being the type to do maintenance at 10pm the night before a ride doesn't allow just running down to the LBS to grab what's needed.
