Don't like the sound or cost of that.
Is there a failsafe system?
If it goes for a Burton do you lose all braking. Unlike two separately controlled brakes off one failed you'd have the other.
Its two seperate brakes..........one for the front, one for the rear
Cost £300 each

Ahhh, ok, wireless still? I saw the whole set up was £13,000 down from about £17,000.

its the best groupset i have ever used.......smooth as silk, easy to setup and runs like a dream, even with e road link and 42t cassetteOh yeah, that's what I meant....my only excuse is I was in the bath....
I'm torn between Red eTap and Dura-Ace Di2 for the Bianchi - do you have experience with both? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, I know you've used Di2 in various guises as I've seen a few of your other posts... I've currently got SRAM Rival on one bike and Shimano Ultegra on the other and I think I prefer the SRAM... No experience with electronic shifting in any form as yet.
Yeh i have a rigid mtb with xt di2.....which is a great set-up due to the fact you can run a 46t rear cassette without any issues and shifting is pretty slick.
But if running a road bike then sram etap is the way to go. No wires, simple to set up, one button up, one button down and if battery runs low, you can switch front battery to the rear.
Both are awesome groupsets

New tyre for thr best bike.
I detest spending money on boring, consumables. But it is coming to the end of winter, and time to refresh the drivetrain, brake blocks and tyres.

I've got a 598, top rack 
I've got a few bits en route namely dhb leg warmers, new Oakleys and some bits for the new GPS unit when it arrives - wahoo sensors (speed and cadence), a storage bag and a strap to fix it to the bars in case it pops out of the mount for any reason. I had an email from Hammerhead earlier saying they're sending it out in a few weeks so thought I'd start collecting a few more bits ready

Thanks for that, I clicked on the link and found a Hollywood "over the top" rack that fits my car; I've been looking for something like this for ages!
