what are peoples opinions about electric components on a bike?

[Mick.fr]

I like them a lot but sadly they are very expensive i want an electric shifter bc I want to make my yt capra a slopeduro with gears but it's a bit to expensive

[Saker_MTB]

I wouldn't want electric components because I think they're unreliable

[Campbell]

same, I always go with non electric

[guilhem]

But the electric derailer are mor compfy and have mor precision

[Alex_Trails34]

ELECTRIC PARTS ARE BAD AND SO ARE E BIKES JUST DO THE WORK YOURSELF IT IS NOT THAT HARD DON'T BE LAZY

[thomp46]

yes precisely🧐

[Lemming8888]

I don’t like the idea of electric parts on bikes because they could fail and then you would know nothing about it because you can’t fiddle with the cables and if you had electric brakes that would be even worse (I don’t have to explain that one)

I think electric drivetrains aren’t bad. They shift way better under pressure, people are saying “what if you forget your battery” which is a fair argument but my sram axis battery on my cx bike lasted the whole fall season. For me i only have to charge it like once a month. And then people are saying it’s expensive but like what are you going to expect mtb is just expensive. Although both sram and shimano have budget options. Like sram gx axis or shimano di2 deore xt. Also e-bikes i dont hate them because they can introduce people with disabilities into the sport or just new people in general

[trafficones]

@Yetisb160 I don't understand how gx or xt is considered budget, like that's always been way outside my price range, that's very premium to me

[guilhem]

@Alex_Trails34 yeah only the E-Bike is s**t but not the components (derailleur)

EMTB is a*s, stop being a fat a*s and pedal for once, or do downhill, which is the best if you dream of flying:)
