Hi,


What is the hype around the impending arrival of wireless grossest? I know there's going to be the fact that there's not going to be a dearth of cables, but other than that what's the benefit?

FSA and SRAM are said to be releasing wireless groupsets soon, but I have not noticed any hype. Mavic introduced wirelss shifting with Mektronic probably before some members on this forum were even born.

Depends. You might have just as many wires as a wired group.

Maybe you only have to fit that brick to your bike when using push button TT controllers and not the regular eTap levers.
