Which Groupset?

not a very heavy sleeper then

it's like hippy in a bivvy

chortle

needs

Don't they come with those in the box?

Take the batteries off?

Missed this part in the article;

For extended transportation, SRAM recommends that you remove the derailleur batteries and replace them with the red battery port covers to keep the battery contacts clean.

Yes, they do.

Theres a periodic recall system inplace. So you dont need to worry about seals degrading over time.........

I bought Zipp 303. How long until I'm dead?

13 minutes...

12 minutes...

RIP @Señor_Bear, he'll be missed.

Still here fuckers.

I see dead people.

Apparently Etap sluggish rear shifting improves massively with use of a Shimano cassette

I haven't noticed it being sluggish and am using a Shimano cassette so there might be some truth in this.

Apparently they slowed the shifts down to conserve battery life.

Have you been happy with it so far?

I may have accidentally hit the buy button last night.

I'm running it on a SRAM Red cassette. It can be fractionally slow for the chain to move after the derailleur has shifted; I wouldn't say the derailleur movement itself is actually slow. The speed of the chain following the derailleur can vary depending on which cog, it does seem a little reluctant down at the smaller end of the cassette. I wonder if this is where the Shimano cassette might help.

I have spent many, many hours try to finesse the front derailleur position to avoid any slight chain rub on big chain-ring-biggest three cogs (not that I intend to use big-big but I'm a perfectionist and I want to know it would be spot-on if I did). In that respect, I think the Shimano model where the front derailleur trims itself is much better - Sram instead stubbornly insist the Yaw design means it isn't necessary, but it must have been possible to programme in. Mind you, I had pretty much the same problem with Red 20, so I wonder if I am towards the limits of bike geometry compatibility with Yaw anyway.

YES FAM

Yes, very. It all just works and the right hand to shift up, left hand to shift down set up is very intuitive.

No, it's not the new DA groupset.
