Yeah that mobile phone you're lugging around is sooo heavy with its enormous battery pack. What about the weight of the cables & those compex STI levers that can now be junked?

[Andy E]

Any idea what price it's going to be? Interesting to see how much more than regular Dura-ace it will be..

[quote="Keith"]Snoop, why don't you post Shimano a letter telling them. Use that old typewriter of yours.

If it's lighter, more precise and more reliable, then I'm all for electric shift.

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]I wonder how many times you'll be able to recharge them?

I recon the '09 kit will be over-priced and have loads of problems, but I also reckon that by mid '11 half the Club Run will be using electric shift.

What's all this gear changing nonsense?

Must be for people who didn't put the right sized sprocket on at the start of the ride .

[quote="Andrew G"]The advantage they have is that everything is supplied free, only has to last one season, fitted and fettled daily by a mechanic, and should anything happen a bloke driving behind them gives them a new one before they've got a foot out the pedal.

OOoooooohhhhhhhh
surprised they didn't streamline the design of the battery pack though. think I'll wait for version 2.0.
