I admit I am a SRAMophile. I have previously had no interest in electronic shifting. Etap definitely has caught my interest.

I hope someone will notify us when the UK sellers show stock of e-tap. I'm also hoping there will be a mini-group available as a package: levers and buttons, derailleurs, cassette, and chain. No brakes or crank. Actually just derailleurs, levers and buttons would be good for me. I don't use SRAM chains and can source my own cassette separately. Is that too personalized to expect?

Intriguing. Maybe my next electronic shifting will be this... but kind of invested in 2 DI2 11 speed and 1 DI2 10 speed already in my family. Not sure if adding another in mix is good idea.

I just woke up, is this the same company that wants me to hit a button twice to shift?

I rode E-Tap yesterday and really liked it. The shifting is very intuitive and easy to get used to. The best part maybe is that install time is literally under 10 minutes for the shifters and deraileurs. Spoke to a SRAM insider who says it will be quite a while until we see a mini group available at least until SRAM is all caught up supplying the oem side.

I have two friends who have it. The downside they say is Di2 shifts faster than e tap. For the $$ difference i think i rather go with Di2.

Both have their pros and cons, so pick the one that works best for you.
One of the things I like about eTap is the micro adjustments of the RD in 0.2mm intervals making fine tuning a breeze.

Stupid question incoming.
Being that it is wireless, am I correct in assuming that the frame doesn't need to have any sort special wire routing ie internal or di2 compatible? Can I throw these derailleurs onto any bike without issue?

Yes, they are not physically connected to the levers or each other.
