>>1702127Integrated cockpits make cable routing a shitty job and the tight bends make shifting suck. I think that integrated cockpits are fucking retarded but that's the way things are going unfortunately.
Pathetic that Shimano couldn't sort out full wireless. Even fucking FSA could. The lack of backwards compatibility sucks too, a total SRAM move.
>>1702015It doesn't end. Campy 2x13 is right around the corner. Will be electronic only as well, probably wireless. For a lot of roadies, having wide range and tight spacing for cadence reasons is the goal. Currently the Campy 11-32 cassette is 11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-22-25-28-32, and I can see them adding 18 in. Same goes for the 11-29. Or they could make their 11-34 cassette have smaller jumps up top, from 11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-22-25-29-34 to 11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-22-25-28-31-34
None of it is necessary at all but then again the last necessary was the development of the slant parallelogram RD so whatever.
>>1702338Ultegra shifters are much more reliable than 105. Sounds like they'll be continuing Ultegra 11sp for some time.
