here we gooooo again...
I love double paddles to shift the front, its very satisfying. Also the opposite shifting, first it bothered me, then I adapted since I am a human, we are highly inteligent and able to adapt to things like this within instants. |

To me it's not opposite shifting. But, yes, as advanced apes who can do things like drive cars with a whole variety of transmission systems, the two buttons eTap uses are pretty easy to learn.
Anyway, to the original poster, there are many happy people on eTap and for most it's a very slick group that works great. There's a good chance you'll like it or love it. And a small chance you'll think it's backwards. |

Oh hell yes. Totally.
And, those unused shifter bosses will drive you crazy - get a new Moots to go with the eTap. (don't listen to me, I'm a struggling/recovering bikeaholic, now seeking to live vicariously through the acquisitions of others). p.s. Campy rules |

Meh. I'll be the voice of dissent.
It's not that good. I've had just about everything except the current crop of 11s Shimano and EPS. If you're like me and worry about losing a battery during a ride/race (seen it happen, twice) you won't be able to put it out of your mind. The shift speed isn't there, also. In the end it's just a group. I'm currently riding 6603, Shimergo (Veloce ergos), Red 22, Suntour XCD bar-end 3x7 and can say the only group I have that doesn't beat than Etap in speed is the Shimergo, likely because it's using an ancient mtb RD. Di2 is much faster as well, which I currently don't have but my wife does on her race bike. Last edited by stien; 04-20-2018 at 03:24 PM. |

Di2 is slightly faster than etap. I ride the two back to back frequently. I wouldn't say the difference is huge

I don't imagine that anyone here "needs" more than DT shifters and 7sp freewheel in the back.
But if you want it, go for it.

I've been riding both for some time now. eTap on the bike the doubles as road and travel, Di2 on road/gravel/do it all bike. eTap is really sweet for a travel bike and makes that really easy.
They both work great. eTap is easy to install and with a spare der. battery and a 2032 or two in your pocket/pack you are good to go. |

I'm sure it would be easy for someone just learning how to shift. I'm having a hard time overwriting muscle memory.
Considering how SRAM included a USB adapter with eTap kits from the beginning, it seems reasonable to think that at least one firmware update should have been made available in the last 2+ years. But maybe adding the ability to configure the buttons would be too complicated. |
