As do you and I. .. As we boys high-fived all round, my favourite English teacher would say, "....and fools never differ. That's a hundred lines of Latin each of your will translate for the farmers' and traders' sons not gifted with the talents you waste so frivolously."* I don't think this from Shimano is foolish, but whether it will be a commercial success is another pig's ear, to channel Gene. Way I see it, Shimano is returning to a path it has itself trod well. See http://coolmainpress.com/BICYCLINGsmover.html for a bike in which a Shimano grupo electronically controlled the gearbox, the bike's suspension and the lamps. Adding the brakes is not a conceptually huge step up from electronically controlled suspension sensitive to load, speed, gear and incline. and maybe other factors I don't now remember without rereading reams of Japanese. Commercially that grupo was probably a success (parts of it were upmarket OEM in Germany and The Netherlands and even on a housewives' Trek called the Frog or the Lime or something like that -- anyhow, the one I saw was green) but it didn't live up to its extravagant expectations, until Shimano made a tiny, offensively cut-down version of it, the miserable Di2 in the Dura Ace, its top grupo. I never understood why the dropbar brigade allowed themselves to be fobbed off with this insult when a fully automatic derailleur system would have been just a small step up from the Smover system for Shimano. This entire conception goes back to before 1996, the year I first noticed the Shimano automatic hub gearbox, which was then 3-speed.** Andre Jute Very little under the sun that is perfectly new. * "Aw, come on sir, we charge a bob [shilling, those days perhaps 40 cents] and three cigarettes for ten lines!" When I came to have a little influence, I had the job of writing the textbook for the entire country given to him, and he retired a much-revered millionaire. ** If the precise date is important, get Slow Johnny to look it up. 1996 is merely the year I first considered a hub gearbox. |
