Which Groupset?

They've been busy further screwing their own groupset hierarchy.

I was chatting to a posh bike shop owner that had sold a few EPS laden super bikes. Back when EPS first come out. Apparantly he kept having them come back to the shop after a few wet rides.

Thats basically me out.

Italian electrics not being compatible with water? Definitely not innovation. Ask anyone who owns an Alfa or a Lancia.

I LOVE Hippy arguments.

I have Di2 on two bikes and no drills in sight.

My other bike has DA7800 which, as we've already established, is the greatest groupset ever created so is never likely to require change.

Is SRAM RED eTap waterproof?

I notice they didn't say "yes".

:-*

Has the same number of exposed cable Connection Points as my Di2 bike. Where the cables enter the mechs. So should be, no?

Hey, I don't write their FAQs. Just seems like a bit of a politician answer.

1000k between charges turns me off. I mean, that's not even one ride ;)

But they just won a grand tour .. sad I know.

2 consecutive GT's :)

I want to put Nibali pic to troll @hippy but I find him loathsome; Nibali that is. @hippy is a sweetheart xxx

Hey, if race organisers want to send out 5 motorbikes to shepherd Nibali up the mountain while one moto follows the pink jersey group by 20m and if you want to stop the GT race when it still has 30k to go because you don't want your Italian pinup boy to crash and hand victory back to Chaves that's all fine. A fine Italian 'victory' in a fine 'Italian' race.

So, you don't have to troll me, the Giro already did.

Hey Nibs, hang on to some more cars...

Hanging on to car is a groupset feature. The bus stroke equivalent of fixie world.

something we can all agree on, Nibali is a ball

RE: SRAM waterproofing; i don't think any of the major groupset manufacturers would call their products waterproof. I very much doubt any of them would function under water...

DA7800 does.

Thank you. Your discussions assuaged @amey can keep the SRAM.

oof so bitter still!

I seem to remember people having to drill holes in their bikes to charge the battery, is that still a thing ?
I bought (mechanical) Chorus recently and like it, probably the sweet spot in their groupsets. Potenza might turn out to be ok now Campagnolo have discovered self-extracting bolts.

I had SR11. It was beyond awesome.

But I never could keep it running sweetly. Totally my own fault. My shitty condition riding - to - proper maintainance regime. Was just too far off.

Di2 just Works all the time, exactly like it did yesterday.

dont buy D-fly.

Why would I? I'm a performance-oriented rider.
Adding £100 worth of electronics that tells me nothing I need to know would be crazy.

Don't you just plug the charger in to the junction bike

Well you'd be charging Your battery 4 times as often if you did it appears.
