I've converted a couple of bikes (TT & CX) to electronic shifting using Di2 and I'm now considering converting my road bike. One of the appeals of this would be the option to have removable aero bars, which I could add shifters to.
My road bike currently has SRAM Force, hence I'm swaying towards going with eTap Red. I was thinking this would be quite elegant in that I could buy the road bike upgrade kit, and have blips on the top of handle bars when used without the aero bars, and swapping these with clics when adding the aero bars.
These would ideally be plugged into the shifters, meaning I wouldn't require a blip box, but the issue I see is the wires need to run under the bar tape for a neat solution.
Am I overlooking something here with eTap, is there way I can add/remove clics without having a blipbox or having to remove bar tape?
