Terrible name, but Shimano has always had random names.

Curious to understand how they made all the speeds compatible - so if I get this right the 11speed CUES shifters will work with 9 speed CUES cassettes?

I think this is because the thickness and spacing of the cogs are the same across 9,10 and 11 speed.
However, this implies that a 9 speed cassette will need what, 4 spacers on the inside to maintain the same overall width as an 11 speed cassette.
