  • I've never liked that idea, although I couldn't explain why

    Increased moment of inertia of the steering parts around the steering axis tends to lower the onset speed and increase the amplitude of shimmy. Of course, electric buttons and a lithium battery are not as bad as mechanical shifters hanging out of the ends of the extensions 🙂

  • the battery in mine is at the other end to the shifters

    I assumed it would be, but even right at the front it would be less of a problem than hefty mechanical shifters.

    Of course, if you all got proper electric gears, all this battery placement and frame wiring chat would be moot 🙂
