[quote="Sylv"][quote="-Adam-"]I think I will kind of miss the external gear cables, they give you something to grab hold of when in a TT tuck on the tops of your bars.

Nah, the Guilford Crit was practice for my up-coming Flanders epic!

More quotes from the article:

Shimano has made the bold decision to increase the cable pull on the new 7900 group. [size=150]Much like SRAM and Campagnolo[/size], this means that the new drivetrain should be far more tolerant of housing contamination, slight maladjustments and hanger dimension variances than
The new STI Dual Control levers themselves [size=150]will finally ditch the old-school hood shape in favour of a flatter and more hand-friendly top surface – [color=#0000BF]like Campag[/color]. Carbon brake lever blades and titanium hardware – like Campag[/size] will drop some weight while adjustable lever reach will better accommodate smaller hands and a wider assortment of bar bends. [size=150]As we reported earlier, derailleur housing will finally be concealed beneath the bar tape for a cleaner appearance. [color=#0000BF]– like Campag[/color]
The rear derailleur lightens up with a carbon cage [color=#0000BF]– like Campag[/color][/size]

You want your post removed Adam? No problem .

FYI Mr Green...

My snapped gear cable last week was because it was three years old and perhaps a little stretched! It had been showing tell tale signs of its age for a while. But my youth and in-experience meant I didn't realise it was on the brink of snapping!
