Hmmm.

I like the current 11s 4 arm crank, the new 12s one is fugly. Eleven is plenty for me.

Thanks..like shimano, start at upper end and work down..I think there will be a kinda split..SR/Record and Chorus and below. Mech and EPS SR/Record levers for rim and disc...mechanical for rim and disc for Chorus(11s) and below...

More interested in the high end...Kinda like other 'goods'..motorcycles, cars, guitars, watches, audio gear, cameras...etc...Don't think Bugatti will be making a small SUV anytime soon or Rolex a digital watch..

I know we all have differing opinions but this group is hideous looking! Guess I will go back to Shimano if I ever need a new group unless my old 10 and 11s stuff keeps on going for a long time.

The photos that I've seen seem rather light on pics of the RD. Maybe for a good reason. And those rim calipers! Seems silly to tout the tire clearance when the direct mount location makes it even narrower than the previous.

When 11s came about i wasent thrilled with the looks but its grown on me, well not the 4 arm cranks but the rest.. However i think my thoughts on this is that im even less pleased with the new release than i was when 11s came. This is simply not something i would consider buying at this point, maybe i will come around in 3 years. Who knows..

My sentiments exactly.........

I will convert to 9 sp. Everytime the industry adds another cog i will subtract from my wheels and be happy.
I am still on 8sp on my mtb and never ever think about more cogs.
I want better tires, better wheels, better frame geometry. I don´t want amother cog.
I don´t need better braking but better and affordable wheels. I want tubulars not tubeless.

^ this guy gets it !!

I'm sure it works great, but I'm not a fan of the look. To me, it lacks the refinement of the previous generation. This new stuff has a "prototype" look to it.
