Tl;DR
Sram unveils a $4500 electronic group that uses funky shifting (why the fuck would i press two buttons to shift one thing?), proprietary everything, more batteries than you could possibly ever want and relies on 5 arm spidered cranks.
MEH.
maybe im a bit negative.
also.
BLIP BLIP BLEEP BLOOP BLEEP
Where’d you get $4500 from?
All the parts look super cool to me, but I will never own this.
2000GBP/wahtever USD + fuckyouyou’reinoztax
This is far more exciting than that Rotor Hydro junk.
I’ve been toying with the idea of switching my Roadie from Sram to Campy… but now I want this.
So much hype. Have used, don’t like the feel of electronic shifting (or the lack of feel anyway). That said it works just as well as Di2. I don’t like the idea of multiple batteries though.
Prices will come down.
Wont be long you’ll get a whole bike with this at those prices
Yep. It’ll be available from the euro/UK sites for 2/3 of that within months.
Not to be a jerk BUT as for multi batteries… remember the talk of Solar house paint. Make it happen SRAM!
Sram normally leaves me cold but I like this.
DCR review of the wireless bit, 2nd part of this post.
can someone find me DA Di2 @ 2/3 of RRP kthx.
i only see it for about 40% off.
Surely someone’s going to figure out how to hack it.
You want less discount?
nah, just a second ‘f’
Fuck this I’d wait for gen2 at a minimum.
Remember gen 1 di2 or gen one eps? Ugh
My gen 2 eps is amazing
This is all irrelevant if it can’t sync with cycling manager on PS4

Or shift gears accordingly to music on phone.
