I'm starting to think Shimano intentionally made a faulty design that breaks cables to make people go Di2.
I could have, but then I'd have to deal with SRAM's crappy shifting and drivetrain noise.
I'm probably a Shimano fanboy, but it just works, reliably and quietly. Life is too short to worry about the extra cost when I know I can have perfect shifting on every ride.
