    I've been using my Di2 in paddle shift mode for almost two years. The front buttons do the front mech and the rear buttons do the rear mech. It's a much better system but it does take a couple of rides for it to become second nature.

    On Di2, shifting front and rear mechs at the same time (whilst still loaded up) is a wonderful thing. With SRAM, you must change one, then the other.

    I also have my Di2 set up in paddleshift mode and it does feel more natural in use. I also agree that being able to do front and rear shifts at the same time is very useful. I have my system set up with multishift on fast and to drop only two gears. This way, I only need to press two buttons simultaneously to get an ideal ratio in situations when the next sprocket on the cassette has too much of a jump.

    I want it. Looks nicer (in my opinion) than shimano or campagnlo, and if sram red mechanical is anything to go by it will be nicer to use than either of the other two as well.

    Also reliability of electronic shifting puts me off as if you are 50 miles from home and it stops working you are stuffed or have to single speed it home!

    That's often brought up but it's not like mechanical shifting never breaks or leaves you stuck in a particular gear. I had that happen to me a couple of weeks ago with mechanical Ultegra, being stuck in the easiest gear just slowed me down rather than stopped me, but still.
