Is Shimano wireless...

Is Shimano wireless shifting imminent?

As has even well documented I the the new Stumpy carbon frame and the new Santa Cruz ebike have both been launched with no routing for shift cables. As far as I can see you would only do this for 1 of 2 reasons as a manufacturer 1 SRAM have offered you superb deals that mean you are happy to lock yourself into axs only for the lifetime of that frame. That might be possible but would seem quite risky for a frame manufacturer perspective. 2 Shimano are finally about to launch there version and the frames are coming our before the official launch. As someone with a preference for shimano shifting I might just be too optimistic/ hopeful and want competitor to help drive the prices for it out of the stratosphere
