Some thoughts from the more plebeian 8070 level(?)
- ultegra does have hidden shifter buttons
- the bar end/in frame charge port and button says Bluetooth enabled, BUT you still have to give someone 130 to get the aerial (or inline Bluetooth module)
- I have synchro shift set up. It doesn’t stop you using the shifters normally, but you can set it to stop you downshifting to big-big when the chain is a link too short. That’s 😌
- HF is right - perfect for winter as no cables to get draggy with dirt. Really needs to be disc brakes for this. No guards on that bike though...
