Etap is a dream when it works. Hard to describe that sinking feeling you get when you press that lever and nothing happens. I hope you don't ever experience it. Good luck.

I was surprised to find out I really, really liked eTap even though I'd been a Di2 fanboy. Now, I'm looking for a reason to swap out the Di2 for eTap on that bike too. Zero problems, it shifts super smooth and since it's my travel bike, the lack of wires or cables makes packing it super easy.
