Bat-ass Posted October 27, 2010 Share I don't think its marketing crap, I think its real innovation. According to those who've ridden with DI2 the gear changes are consistently flawless, far better than with manual shifters. I reckon this is also why Campag waited a couple of years to release their group. At the very least it has to compete with DI2. You can be sure that Campag were probably one of the first to purchase DI2 groupsets to evaluate and compare. Velo... i'v got no doubt the product will be superb.... but surely cassettes and deraillers can go..... i mean, the engineering in cycling equipment is beautiful, and briliant, but chains and cogs are archaic.. time for something revolutionary.

Bat-ass Posted October 27, 2010 Share Rulhoff hubs have been having it yes.. i know, but its time they stepped into the big league. With a system that alows for quick wheel changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bontie Posted October 27, 2010 Share yes.. i know, but its time they stepped into the big league. With a system that alows for quick wheel changes? Sure, have you seen what the price of a Rohloff hub is - I think Campy electric will be cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted October 27, 2010 Share My feeling is that this is all marketing driven crap to make a simple mechanical operation electric.... i wish they would concentrate on real development,,, like internal rear hub gearing, belt drive..... no more chains, deraillers, cassettes.....imagine... Most companies need to sell consumables to remain in business. It's normally the higher margin buisness too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend that has DI2.....he smiles everytime he shifts.... Why not innovation wrt internal gearing etc? Weight and $$.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
