rouxtjie Posted March 29, 2016 Share AND - stronger shifts if it's anything like DI2 - that motor puts more force on the DR than the cable can for muddy/dirty conditions etc.is die kool die sous werd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted March 29, 2016 Share is die kool die sous werd?I don't know - on a road bike - yes - makes cool buzzing noises.... and the auto alignment is pretty cool.. I have only ever ridden once in conditions so bad the rear would not shift - would it have worked - no idea -would I have gone faster if it had shifted - no idea - probably not.... would I have cursed less - probably not.... I would say in Gauteng conditions, probably not worth the extra spend - perhaps in the WC or NZ it might be - this does not of course stop me wanting it....

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 29, 2016 Share True - has to go wireless.... then I am in..... Then we just need fly by wireless brakes too....eek. No thanks. I'd prefer an interface where I can feel how much pressure I'm putting on to the brakes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 29, 2016 Share True - has to go wireless.... then I am in.....

It was just a tounge in cheek comment - so ignore it.... I don't think they will want to do this on a bike because of the weight added for all the pumps etc needed - still - in a car you don't even notice it.

No wheel speed sensor wire = no ABS... but I am now taking my hat and coat and running.... <OT> Sensors are wired, driver control isn't. It's a direct mechanical/hydraulic connection - albeit assisted and sometimes modulated. </OT> raptor-22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
