so we're back at the same place we come to about every 3 weeks (or sooner...) the compact-STD-triple debates
none of which are wrong and none of which changes many minds....

Ideally, what I want is 20 good gears, and for me that is what I think E-lec-tronic shifting should be... not E-lec-trick...
I WANT
A drivetrain with gearing you can enter into a dashboard and get the gear ratios you want, without overlapping. Soz I can have the gears where I think they would do the most good, with the spacing I want... between each gear ratio...

you know, like, it's Hammerfest Sat, and I pick the ratio range for fast and flat - 20 gears between 120 and 65 inches - nice!
or it's the Everest challenge and I want a 140 inch up top, then maybe something 100ish, 90ish, 80ish, 70ish, 60ish and the rest lumped between 50 and 20 inches...
YEAH! datz what I'm tawkin aboot!

NOT what we now have, which is like a flying Jenny steered by a wire between the legs
AND NOT like DI2, which is like a flying Jenny steered by electric wire between the legs

I mean, DI2 doesn;t do any more **** than what is/isn;t already happening when I tug on the wire...
