In comparison though I typically charge Shimano between 2-4 times a year tops. I would be charging a SRAM system 8-10 or so. .....
....but yeah, who cares.
Its common knowledge that you need to remove the batteries when transporting the bike.
I think people overly concerned about battery life should stick with mechanical.
And I've read hat some people are concerned about having to bleed hydrolic disc brakes so they are staying with rim brakes.
about 60 riding hours
The front (if applicable) and rear derailleurs each have one rechargeable lithium-ion battery. These batteries last about 60 riding hours on a full charge. A full battery charge takes about 1 hour and is done using the eTap USB charging cradle.
So if you ride 15mph, and we all know we all ride faster than that.... 60(hours) x 15(mph) = 900 miles. It's just simple math.
