I have been offered a rather tasty deal on a bike with Sram Red wifli hrd groupset.
Is anyone using it other than a purely road groupset? It will be on a bike that gets used for several days at a time and will be left outside as i camp/bivvi.
My gf uses Di2 in juat such a scenario and its been fine. Does anyone have any observations?
thanks
Ian
A mate of mine has gone one better than that and has eTap on his gravel bike. He's given it a bit of a beating this year and it still works
He does, however get off and carry his bike through river crossings.
is that the totally wireless kit? if so, thats the thing im talking about.
im more than happy to carry through rivers 🙂
Yep. It's also fair to say he gets a bit nervous about rock strikes.
hmmm..i guess i would be too. it comes with the Sram Red chainset which is carbon too....im not sure if im talking myself out of it, or into it...
WiFli is what Sram call their bigger cassette/longer cage mech combo.
ETap is the wireless shifting.
Apart from the potential extra cost risk involved if you damage a rear mech (more likely off road due to rock/log interface etc) id happily use it on a gravel bike.
thnks Matt, its etap kit. im afraid i find the namimg conventions rather confusing.....reminiscent of Japanese motorcycle innovations in the 70s and 80s 🙂
