I would have liked to use eTap on this build TBH, as it’s a balls out show bike being built for Bespoked for Genesis/Madison/ DT Swiss, so have been confined to their associated brands. Hence the Pro finishing kit and Shimano. I really like the R870 hydro groupset, but I need to use an integrated bar/stem set up on this for the added useable paint real estate, because show bike.... but there just don’t seem to be any useable options out there At the mo to get rid of the stem mounted junction box without drilling fuck off big holes in the bars.
I’m not complaining, as I’ve been gifted some fucking awesome shit to build a show bike with, just annoying that Pro can’t seem to make a bar that actually works with a groupset produced by the same by the same god damn company!!
I just started riding my bike with etap and really don't understand how anyone can think it shifts slowly, it's practically instant.
