When are we going to talk about ABS brakes?
I'd never considered Di2 but @d8mok makes a convincing argument for it's usage. Might I ask if you do winter riding with it, salt, wet, slush etc?
I will wait for the advocates to extol the virtues and then elucidate my reasons for dismissing such nonsenseThats's tomorrow's rant.
Thanks mate. I will have to try it out.I ride every other day even through winter but I have an other bikes which are cable.
However Iād have no issue using electronic at all.
Iāve had XX1 AXS on my yeti for 2 years now and itās been faultless.
Just gone to Di2 12 speed ultegra on my new road bike and so far Iāve only ridden it around the block a few times to set stuff up. However itās hands down the smoothest shifting Iāve had. Once the weather improves Iāll get some proper miles on it.
Next one will be a upgrade from mechanical GRX to Di2 on the gravel but Iām holding out in case a new version is coming soon
What do we want! ABS brakes! sorry carry on..I will wait for the advocates to extol the virtues and then elucidate my reasons for dismissing such nonsense
I'd love to try an electronic shift. Lots of advantages to not having cables; but I can see two main disadvantages of cost and serviceablity. Probably a better application on my gravel bike (which to be honest stays on the road) and out of the way of muck and thigs to bounce it off. If they go wrong on a ride, then I guess you're a bit limited - whereas cabled shifting gives options to fix/remedy.
Like everything, tech will trickle down - but I think this will take time. We were fine with canti's until V's appeared. Then we were fine with V's until discs became more prevalent. Then cable discs were frowned upon 'cos not hydraulic, but are now fine. Plus ca change...
Electronic on a 1x drivetrain would be aesthetically lovely.
Thanks mate. I will have to try it out.
