What sort of disingenuous crap is this, where you ignore that folks like to irrationally chase perfection?
Why so upset I don't like your idea? We don't have to like everyone's setups.
People colour match the undersides of their show cars. Realistically, it's a fucking stupid thing to do but it's a neat detail. There's lots of aesthetic choices people make that aren't necessarily done for anything other than "ooh I have an interesting idea".
Don't pretend you can tell your bike handles differently with battery placement though.

Don't pretend you can tell your bike handles differently with battery placement though.
Who's pretending that? All I said was that it seems stupid to put weight higher when you could put it lower. And that your bike feels lighter with a lower centre of gravity. Handling was not mentioned.
If your bike is under six and half kilos, and you put the wheels in a groove and rock the bike from side to side with your hand on the top tube, it's not implausible that you could actually tell the difference between 50-odd grams being in the seat post or above the BB.
This sort of improvement, with the help of other such improvements (lighter seat, stem, bar?), is guaranteed to make your bike feel more fun.
If you have to argue with that, then pff

So? It nevertheless contributes to the overall feel, along with every other minor thing. Am I actually mistaken in assuming there are folks here who like to fettle their gear to a high state of tune? I'd put lots of money on people not being able to tell the difference OSPWs make, but that doesn't make the marginal gain worthless. What sort of disingenuous crap is this, where you ignore that folks like to irrationally chase perfection?
Am I also mistaken to believe Di2 is waterproof?
