Shimano shifters

Did they check the derailleur hanger?

CUES is still here, but Essa is replacing it in the low end.

+1 on the derailleur hanger.
Swapping out the rather flimsy OEM hanger on my bike with a quality one, made a big difference. I improved shift performance even more by investing in an alignment tool.

This one is much better.

Maybe something is bent and not lining up properly. I have had three and they all worked fine. I had to bend some parts so components would line up properly. Look straight on from behind the bike to see if all looks lined up and straight and nothing looks twisted.

Does the Cyclus swivel like the Abbey? That's it's secret sauce.
