SRAM Wireless

[JackRabbitSlims]

KISS is nice principle to abide by

as for myself

which i know means squat in the grand scheme of things.....

mechanical over electronic / wireless any day of the week
or month

as we all know,
pros get paid to ride

what they're told to ride

yes,
a few exceptions to the rule
but not many

Re:

A good look at the upcoming FSA groupset as used by Argon-18 at the TdF.

http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/07/tour-de-france-tech-fsas-prototype-electronic-groupset/

It's a little way off yet in terms of refinement but there's a few cool things I noticed like standard coax cables and connectors at the derailleurs rather than proprietary ones and what looks like a single servo for each derailleur too. Nice to see a company keeping things simple.

Looks promising.

Not waterproof tho and cheapest to source. Doesn't really matter if the connectors are propietary, you aren't going to slap a Di2 der on there.

Hopefully it will be better stuff then their really crappy cranks/chainrings/BBs.

I was thinking of emergency servicing and replacement, not many component manufacturers do.

Got to agree on the quality of FSA cranks/BBs. My last bike came with K-Lights and an FSA BB30, less than 12 months and 3 BBs later I was using a Cannondale SiSL...

yep
wires to a junction box which then operate the derailleurs wirelessly

i knew you'd be a fan
