Re brake prices - the FT+RR kits come with a wee bottle of the new required fluid and spare pads, whereas the individuals don’t as far as I’m aware?
Is it just me who hates the 360 angles? Completely distorts everything & looks gopping.
Also - the price of that wireless XT is mad, just to lose a cable.
Right I now feel reet old & am off to shout at some clouds.
No, I think stuff filmed on those 360* cameras look terrible as well

I'd imagine that a very large percentage of Shimano's output goes to the bike manufacturers and to those guys not having to factor cable routing into frame design and the reduction in labour for assembly really does matter. Not that I'll be rushing out to buy this.
i know i dont need wireless shifting but its easy to think im being priced out of mtb, , especially as ebikes seem to be more prevalent than ever, im going feel like that guy on a rigid old old gary fisher with cantis, lycra , fingerless string backed gloves and a peakless xc lid that i used to see at trail centres when i first started mtb
Regarding the 360 camera, I'm much more interested in the rubber handlebars used in the video above.
That "CopyTrans" bit takes me back to family holidays in France with my Dad. Long peage stretches four-up in a black car in the summer and before the days of ubiquitous air-con. He used to have a jazz sax instrumental version of "Careless Whisper" which he loved and kept playing on repeat one year. My sister and I would almost certainly have mutinied were it not for prospect of a forbiddingly long walk home.
CopyTrans, Price: $19.99 - pretty sure it's free to copy to-from iPods. Been using it for years and never come across a paid version. They do have a suite of software that does a lot more than the iPod transfers, so maybe that's the 20bucks version?
