Dying inside as I update the firmware on my bike’s derailleur. #cycling #gravelbike #shimano
@noahm is there any other reason to have a firmware than to replace a cable?
@mdione There’s a decent amount of programability in the electronic shifting. You can change the behavior of the various shifter buttons, can pair additional wireless shifters (e.g. to place shifter buttons in different positions on the handlebar, etc). So the functionality is all highly software defined. It works very well, and installation of a derailleur becomes trivial when there’s no cable to install. But it still makes me cry.
@noahm you get what you paid for :)
