Shimano advertises it as wire “less.” The reviews I read before buying it all mocked that even. Which website are you referring to?
Curious how did you thought you were going to get power from the battery to the components if you thought it was fully wireless like SRAM?
I just put it on one of my bikes, albeit disc, and it is very nice. I’m also curious how the product is less desirable because you have to run a wire from your shifters to the battery other than a bit of install inconvenience?
