SRAM eTAP Hydro
Anybody have had the chance to ride SRAM eTAP Hydro? I am curious about what people think about it. I might be getting a groupset very soon. The only thing I don't quite like about it is the chunky hoods, however, they feel good, they just don't look great. It's a whopping 20g lighter than Di2 R9170!
Anyways, any reviews out there?

Sounds fun but I don't trust the wireless hydraulic brakes....

No experience with the group, but, as the owner of RS505s, some of the ugliest hoods around, I'll say that you shouldn't let it bother you - if it works as intended, it all looks the same from the saddle and you'll quickly forget your aesthetic reservations.

The actual design ot the hydro is not bad, it's just bulky. It would have been perfect if they could have put the reservoirs on the back of the hoods like shimano.
