Sram Wireless Shifting
Had my first experience with Sram's wireless drive train. Was so very excited to set it up and ride it...until it came to shifting the front derailleur. What happened, Sram? Two shift buttons to move the thing? What happened?
Other than that set up was great. One thing to note is the batteries (2) did not come charged. Shifts great as one expects of top tier electronic shifting. They really need to go back to the drawing board with the front shifting. Just as stupid an idea as the tap tap stuff.

I've had eTap since February 2016 with over 16,000 miles. It's totally intuitive and once you get used to it it will be a reflex.
You can also shift both the front an rear at almost the same time. Tap both and let go of one, it will shift the front and shift the rear.

Nothing happened it is just ScRAM, That is how it goes. It is not like you shift your FD much anyway (at least generally for most people). I don't really see another good way to do it without adding an odd button somewhere because they cannot copy Shimano or Campanoglos so they had to be creative and I think it was a solid move.
I will say I like my Di2 and unless ScRAM makes a 1x12 that is compatible with road shifters and loads of gears at the back and mineral oil disc brakes I probably won't go for it.
