I'm curious to hear thoughts from adopters of electronic shifting. Would you go back to mechanical shifting? Do you believe it is more or less work to maintain than mechanical shifting? I'd also like to know if YOU did the install and the maintenance. I don't want to depend on a shop. I'm very experienced with repair and maintenance.
I have to wonder if upper-end groups are soon to be exclusively electronic. I have a custom frame due in the next year
and am contemplating whether I should make the leap to electronic if that's where we are all headed. FYI, I am a bit of a Luddite, but if that is the direction of the industry, well, I'll follow the herd.
