I have myself acquiring more mechanical bikes sense my ETAP purchase.
I don’t find any advantage of the ETAP other than my heads up display showing me my current gear selection.
To me the price isn’t worth it. All of my bikes shift the same, i’ve yet to have a cable brake. I have had a shifter battery die which resulted in a ride being cut short. That really pissed me off, especially since the said battery showed good before I left.
