Electronic gear changing
First it was Mavic’s Zap in the late 80′s, later renamed Mektronic (or something similar – anyone actually use one??). Looked good but faded away… now Campag and Shimano are having a go. Batteries are smaller and lighter, for starters, and that’s a big plus. Potentially smoother and maybe even lighter, the main object of course is to do away with those nasty wires that do a great job but aren’t cool in the 21st Century… we gotta go wireless, haven’t we? Yes?
Pez has a story and Pics here.
