Regarding the pro peloton, aren't 99% on electronic groupsets nowadays? Kind of eliminates SRAM rom the running, at least until this year when SRAM got the wireless groupset up. Will be interesting see the next evolution of eectronics, do you think everyone will go wireless?
Ive never understood the argument about the brake lever. I have never had my Shimano lever move to the side unless I made a an effort to shift. I have never once tried to brake and accidentally shift.
