Campag Go Electric

[Hont]

The Shimano system has a nice self-trimming feature (couldn't find anything in the campag release to say whether they do as well) which offers a distinct advantage over mechanical systems plus you can mount gear changers in different places on your bars that just need a small tap to change gear. So they're not without appeal.

Plus you eliminate cable-related issues.


Still effing expensive though!

The Rapha clothing buyers will HAVE to have the setup...can't be left behind. It'll look quite funny with retro kit!

Someone will come up with a 'vintage look' battery pack cover.


Just you wait.

I'll have a word with the plumber.....lever top for the older rider?? Non-compatible with Campag and Sram taps, obviusly, but handy for an in race wash, just attach pump to bidon!

When will we get fully automatic shifting using pre-programmed shifts at pre-set GPS co-ordinates of course gradients?

We won't.

We won't.

Agree for a race, but what about a time trial? I could see that working. You'd need a manual override though.

An auto option would certainly be possible, but it would probably be user pre-set to shift above and below a given cadence. I couldn't see it being programmed on gradient changes.
