Anyone have Etap and would you highly recommend? I'm thinking of upgrading from the mechanical setup that came with my bike. Also, I put shorter Rotor cranks on to help with my tight hips. Would this be an issue if I were to upgrade?

I made the move to eTap on my tri bike and would never go back. I'm considering it for my road bike if I don't find a used with Di2 first but if adding after the fact, eTap is the way to go.

I went from SRAM Red 10sp and the one thing I kept was the FSA crank arms (although I wish now I had sprung for the Red cranks). The eTap is so intuitive, easy to activate and awesome to have the blips on the horns. I highly recommend if you can.

I test rode eTap and quite frankly it's not bad, but not my cup of tea... It just felt too "computer game" and no feel to it at all. But then again, I felt the same way about Di2 (although even more so with the eTap). Take this for what it's worth though... I've been riding Campy since my bike club was sponsored by then in the mid-80's (and I do love the EPS, which I have on 2 of my bikes).

It's not that it doesn't work, it's really just as slick as any other electronic shifting, it just felt dead to me.
