Mini pet peeve is why they don't have a few spare bike with their pedals already installed. I get they want to let you select but c'mon - have an all-Shimano setup bike for the all-Shimano rider.
nice thing about neutral for most amateur events is that it is primarily wheels. all 11s (sram/campy/shimano) worked fine. wasn't so for prior generations.
wonder what 12s will bring.
