The 46\/32t pairing gives a usable top end for pavement alongside a 32 tooth inner ring that keeps loaded climbs and long gravel days manageable rather than survivable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs an asymmetric 110mm bolt circle, a 152mm Q-factor, and a 47mm chain line, which is the geometry modern gravel frames are built around. The outboard bearing interface fits 68 and 70mm threaded shells, with Shimano recommending the \u003cstrong\u003eBB-RS501\u003c\/strong\u003e threaded or BB-RS500-PB press fit bottom bracket, sold separately. It runs Shimano \u003cstrong\u003eLINKGLIDE\u003c\/strong\u003e or HG 11-speed chains as part of the CUES 9\/10-speed platform. Worth noting before you buy: this ships as the crankset with both chainrings fitted, supplied without a chainguard and without bottom bracket parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52697952518456,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/8435\/3592\/files\/ShimanoCUESFC-U6040-2Crankset.jpg?v=1785077056","url":"https:\/\/dialedcyclinglab.com\/products\/shimano-cues-fc-u6040-2-crankset-170mm-9-10-speed-46-32t","provider":"Dialed Cycling Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
