Its astonishing how many riders neglect to properly service their electronic groupsets, opting instead to wait until something breaks or malfunctions. But whats the real cost of this lazy approach? Is it truly necessary to follow the manufacturers recommended service schedule, or is that just a ploy to separate us from our hard-earned cash?
Can anyone provide a convincing argument for why electronic groupsets need to be serviced as frequently as every 1000-2000 kilometers, as some top brands suggest? Isnt that just a recipe for unnecessary expense and downtime? And whats the real-world impact of pushing service intervals to 5000-6000 kilometers or more?
Furthermore, are the so-called experts who advocate for frequent service just trying to justify their own existence, or is there some tangible benefit to be gained from this obsessive maintenance? Id love to hear from those whove taken a more relaxed approach to servicing their electronic groupsets and lived to tell the tale. Or are you all just secretly praying your components dont fail during that critical sprint to the finish line?
