For $99, I think that's fair for a product that is estimated to last 4-7 years. I mounted these on my gravel bike so I could have shift options while riding on the tops, I found this location on the underside of the bar tops is great while cruising along in a group or more upright comfort position at endurance pace for longer events. I used the tape and mounted them under the bar tape with the bar tape closely wrapped to the sides of the blips. They paired easily following instructions and work perfectly. Most will never notice them but I have the extra shift option with multiple hand positions. Outstanding product!
Convenient to locate and have alternate shift locations. Easy to add to AXS eTap Rival once you read far enough into set up details.
Installed and wrapped these wireless blips in the drops of my 22 Roubaix and now I can stay in an aero position without having to reach out or having to loosen my grips on the bars. Pairs easily and very functional. Not sure about having to replace them when the battery dies, but if I can get 5-7 seasons out of these, it would be well worth it.
I was planning on using these as a climbing satellite shifter. They are just too big and clunky, I don�t like the way they look and feel. I just couldn�t find a good position. If I were building a bikepacking rig these would have a great spot on some aero bars.
The blips are not compatible with first generation 11-speed Sram Red Etap!!!!
Placed one at the handlebar top for climbing and one in the drops to activate weeeeee. Easy set-up but just note that the clear plastic thingies that come in the package are one of the options for mounting so don't throw them away thinking it's part of the packaging like I did. It sucks these are throw-away items because you can't replace the batteries. Come on SRAM, do better.
They wok perfectly. My only issue is that you cannot change the battery. Once they run out you throw them away. I hope I get several years out of them. But let see.
