When we used to review something, if we couldn't be positive about something then generally we wouldn't publish the article and speak to whoever had given us the product for review, you get a real mixed bag of responses with that approach though

electronic shifting is getting harder to avoid on road. Top 2 Shimano ranges are Di2 only ... but the Di2 has improved.
