How to choose your road bike's electric groupset?

How to choose your road bike's electric groupset?

You'd think that a new generation of components would bring new standards. To everyone's satisfaction: not really. Nevertheless, here are the subtleties to be aware of when assembling an electric groupset.

The standards

  • Type of cable entry: internal or external
  • Battery location: internal or external

Types of mounting for electrical groups

When it comes to mounting levers and derailleurs, nothing has changed: we still use the current standards.

The cable routing can be made in different ways. Either your frame is not designed for an electrical system, in which case all you need to do is route the cables externally against the frame. anot necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing, but possible. However, you'll need to be careful to position the cables so that they cannot be easily "snatched"..

Or your frame is designed for the installation of an electric generator, in which case you can route all cables and hubs internally. beverything is much better protected and more aesthetically pleasing.

For the batteryit's much the same. Either your frame is not designed at all for this type of mounting, in which case there are specific brackets for bottle cages, for example. Or it is, with a support bracket or the possibility of mounting it internally in the frame, or even in the seatpost.

Which electric group to choose?

Apart from the choice of range and components, as for a conventional groupset, the choice will mainly be based on the type of mounting according to the standards of your frame.
