Thats a long way off. If I ever feel I need gears any time soon it'll be 8 speed with a bar end shifter on the drops (already have cassette and shifter). As long as Spyres arent total shit I cant see myself wanting to drop 600+ on an 11 speed hydro groupset
I'd still go for Hylex as they're pretty idiot proof, I brought mine years ago and it still have yet to be bleed (it come fully bleed), despite having a slightly too long rear housing, it been pretty reliable.
yep standard road short pull .. if you are saving up for full hydro just go even cheaper and BB7 or something, install it well with decent pads.
