It's just speculation on my part, but I would think the proprietary wireless protocol SRAM developed is not without a roadmap of future product integration. Connectivity and analytics will be much more accessible… with the right devices, developed by SRAM, to translate the wireless protocol.

I love all the new developments, from a geek side, but I also love the mechanical simplicity of bicycles. I'll root for development and advancement, but still ride with cables.
