Wireless electronic hydraulic disc brakes are where we are all headed by 2019.

I'm sure it won't be long before we can just plug in some parameters and our Garmin will do all of our shifting for us to keep us in the optimal heart rate and power zones. At least until a piece of dust hits it and it stops working leaving us in the big/small combo with the brakes locked up 50 miles from home and out of cell range on an unused gravel road.

...there are some profound philosophical questions raised by Garmin. I had no idea.

Garmin sounds like a nerdy kid who gets his lunch picked over by bullies. I am sad for Garmin.

It's 105, so it doesn't really matter. We all know that 105 is entry level and anything below that is junk.

tell me honestly you wouldn't miss them if they got banned. I know there are more threads because of them, and the pages keep tracking up as they get into their skirmishes...
