Thanks Pete! This is great info. My case is obviously on the lower end of the spectrum but this tech will be great for the adaptive crowd in general.

Cheers thanks Pete!

as a digitally-challenged individual (3 fingers on right hand, 4 fingers on left) I suffer from grip strength issues as well as the numbness AJ described during XC racing. I run all my controls on the right hand side because that is my stronger hand, even though it has less fingers. 

This may be the ticket, as much as I hate to say it due to price, if I can get 3 buttons on the right side. Cam or AJ... would it be possible to control dropper and shifting with the paddle button? ie: hold either button down for dropper?

"wait about a second for it to kick in" - dealbreaker? Did you guys get any ride time on it?

I climbed a few nasty bits on the triple crown this year on mine. Old Buck, as well as the nasty bit up on Cypress before the last long descent of the day. It truly impresses me how well it handles tricky tech.

Very similar to your test spec Pete: Pike Solo 160, Enve wheels, Raceface SixC cranks, XT/XTR mix, 9point8 dropper post. But I'm running a DB Air (with climb switch) and very happy with it.

" I have never been more confident on a bike." Great review Pete - I can only echo the same for my Nomad
