It's 2024 and even Shimano's top-end groups have some wires. What a PITA.

Guess it's fine if you just give your bike to somebody to deal with.

There are two wires, one to each derailleur. It's easier than gear cables. If you can't plug in two wires at home, I think you'd struggle changing an inner tube.

The plugging in is the easy bit!

Fewer things to route through a frame the better IMHO.

Not just that, I know a few people whose cables (fitted by reputable London bike shops and that) unplugged near the BB or something similar.The headache just to ride your bike again.

AXS batteries may not last as long, but at least they're hot swappable.
