I'll give it 3 months before someone figures out how to hack your shifting. Hell, I am already thinkng about it. Most likely it either uses radio freq, or bluetooth, and either one will probably be clonable. So you just go over to someones bike, shift it down, record the signal sent and next time you are next to them, send out that signal.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.; August 1, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Alan Sikirić said...: Whoa dude, you are on some shit there! I didn't even think of that. Although with technology these days, I'm sure there's just as easy a way to prevent that sort of thing too. If not they better think of something REAL quick...; August 1, 2008 at 12:32 PM

Paul Component Engineering said...: From the article it looks like they're just introducing electronic shifting, not wireless.

Given time though, all expensive/useless ideas will come to fruition.; August 1, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Alan Sikirić said...: Hmm, you've got a point there but they're not specific about the wiring harness being linked to everything or just something for the Computer.. I don't know.. Regardless the shit looks HOTT!; August 4, 2008 at 2:34 AM
