...And then somebody will go and start a thread about how great brifters were, and how maybe they'll stage a comeback. Not bloody likely! The dawn of the Siri-ifter is upon us!
Us fans of cheesy Clint Eastwood movies are looking forward to the shifters that are operated by thinking in Russian.
It's going to be a lot of fun when people without Siri-ifters start shifting other people's bikes as they pass by. Also, don't know about you, but voice command doesn't work for me in windy conditions.
