“hey, Shimano, I’m good; just give me a normal cable actuated derailleur, or if you insist on electronic, gimme a wired connection.”
“no, pro racer, you will ride what we give you. bikes have been mostly solved technology for a long time. without constantly introducing gimmicks, we can’t show our shareholders growth. the line needs to go UP, not sideways. now get out there and sell our product.”

I’m sure they must have saved pennies per unit by using a crap RF controller rather than Bluetooth. It’s amazing that the shifters don’t interfere with each other up close.
Taking the wider view, they took a beautiful form of transportation that requires minimal maintenance, and added a point of failure that’s going to cripple it the moment either battery dies.

Well, for the record, it might be true. It doesn’t actually mean anything in Greek and that’s not an Indo-European root as is. However in Hindu mythology there are two dogs guarding the underworld, Sharvara and Shyama, which mean spotted and black in Sanskrit. I guess it’s been debated whether Cerberus is another version of Sharvara.

Uh huh. And if it needs a wiring harness between the generator, the control box, and the shifter, why not skip the RF?
