i remember the same arguments for index shifting and sti levers. it may suck now but after it's been an the market for a year or two we'll wonder how we lived without it
Well, I'm with Pcad on this one. I've seen the stuff written about them on cyclingnews.com; but (and this is a serious question) what is the advantage? Having ridden both down tube (before and after indexed shifting) and brifter equipped bikes, I know that brifters have advantages. What are they for electronic shifting?
