The range of radio transmitters/transceivers can be increased, and accidental transmissions from various things could affect it.
Choosing to allow any kind of remote control over a manned vehicle is a risk. There can be benefits, but winning a race may not be worth giving up your life.
Similarly, I don’t want IoT devices and won’t connect them when I have to buy them. I’d prefer to keep my thermostat and appliances safe, and a neighbor can turn them off if I forget.
- pentamassiv 1y agoRight, I agree. I think it is just lazy from the manufacturers to not wire the shift levers to the derailleurs. It should have a similar weight because you need additional cables but can get rid of the batteries within the shifters. Your main battery will last about 50% longer too. The only downside is the added work to wire them when assembling the bike. After that you can pretty much forget about the wires though. Once I had the proper tool, I wired mine. They are all internal so I don't think I'll need to replace during the lifetime of the bike.
