Ah, yes. Hubbub. Will give it a try. Thanks!

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Stick something simple & mechanical on it.

I am totally on board with Mark McM here, haven't tried eTap or the electronic Campy stuff but if they are more vague than Di2/Ui2 the "feel" can't be there for me.

I even find Di2/Ui2 to lack feel and feels like it has latency. I don't really care if the review websites tell me I have to like it or the Pros are being paid to ride it.

And really does a $2000 groupset belong on a $500 frameset when a sub-$1000 mechanical group will be just fine?

The electronic groups would be better IMO if they mimic'ed the feel of the mechanical groups more... get the feel of the mechanical group without the maintenance tasks of cables. I'm still not sure it'd be worth dealing with batteries for me though.

Campagnolo EPS does, by design. The shift levers 'click'...
