Hi all. Going back about 18 months, I built up my LOOK 695 from scratch. All top end components but now I'm regretting not going EPS.

No real reason to change to EPS as I service my own bikes and gears always adjusted and shift perfect. I think it's one of those nice to have now that I've had it for a while.

Thoughts on conversion? Benefits? I wouldn't have to buy the whole group set. Only parts I'd need are the shifters, rear derailleur, front derailleur, battery, charger and not really sure what else.

EPS is lovely to use, you'd enjoy that. You'd want a clean look so consider where you'd hide the battery. The v3 battery is smaller if your budget were to stretch to that.

The one other item you need is the Dti box, the little junction box. It needs to be visible so you can see the LEDs.

Thanks for your reply. I've been reading about the new EPS. Not sure if the battery would fit in the seat tube on the 695..

I have campy SR mechanical at the moment.

Doing some reading on the look website and he frame will take an internal battery. There is a adaptor kit for electrical units which I'm trying to find out more.

EPS V3 is nothing short of astonishing. I would do it.
