I agree that's good news. My only disappointment with the bike so far is that the RS505 shifters only allow 2-gear downshifts, instead of 3 for the regular 105 shifters. With the closer-ratio 11-speed gearing, I find I really miss that third gear down sometimes. Hopefully, the R7020 is the same as the regular shifters.
No other issues with the bike after 3 weeks. Ride is excellent, handling is excellent. If I had to pick a bike for all-round use, this would be it.
