Very old school to think that nowadays. I remember skabeboards at the start and alot of you don't, a redboard with steel wheels and when things started to change it was oh sh$t, that is stupit and that will never work. Gee, look at them now. Not saying it will happen but in 10 years if you don't have electronic shifting then your old school. I've seen video with the tester trying to do everything wrong possible to screw up the shifting and they couldn't. If the battery goes dead then the rider didn't pay attention. Like anything else you'll have a few lemons but that happens with everything. It seems with it you would have less reason for a tuneup.
