How difficult is it to install the EDS-TX, and what tools do I need?

Installation difficulty is moderate—you'll need basic bike tools (hex wrenches, cable cutters for removing existing cables, and a screwdriver), and the process typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your mechanical experience. Since the EDS-TX eliminates shift cables entirely, you'll actually save time compared to cable-actuated systems, though derailleur hanger alignment remains critical.
