  • Interested as to how good etap is. I'm tempted on a new build although have (older) Shimano hydro di2 at the moment and it is pretty good... Should I take the plunge? Will need hrd as I'm going discs; are they as good as Shimano?

  • I have the rim brake version, but overall it’s excellent. I also have no experience of Di2

    Set up is quite straight forwards on Etap if you take your time and since then I haven’t had it miss a beat.

    I used it on Paris Roubaix with silly carbon chainrings and it performed faultlessly. Shifting is instant and positive and most importantly, the LED on the rear mech looks cool at night

  • Instant (or not) shifting was my biggest worry! That and whether hydro brakes were as good... I'll see how my budget looks when it comes to build time but I'm very tempted
