theres at most 2 control points per hand and a chain that can go either up, or down. it aint rocket science. they all work the same.


Both Di2, and STI are not intuitive for new users. The same lever gives you an easier gear when it's on the left, and harder gear when it's on the right. There's no reason for that in a electronic group where you can program the buttons to do what you want.

SRAM got that, and made the first group that, out of the box, really does not work in the same way as a mechanical group.
