“_Interesting to read about this, but why would I ever change? Is the day coming when cable routing is no longer on nice frames?_”
If the question is “will there be some frames with no provisions for cable routing for shifting and dropper posts?” The answer is probably yes. Through-the-headset cable routing seems to allude to it.
DIY routing aside, it’ll be interesting to see once Shimano’s next-gen Di2-mountain stuff comes to market if a bunch of top-end frames are wireless-specific.
As to why would you change - I’ve got nothing. Either you see, read about, or try T-Type and think ‘yep, that’s for me’ or you don’t. Lots of places I’d spend money on my bike instead.
