Claim 19:
20. A method for controlling an electronic component of a bicycle, the method comprising:
generating, by a first controller of the bicycle, and transmitting, from the first controller to a second controller of the bicycle, messages for a first predetermined time period at a first transmission rate in response to activation of a switch of the first controller;
listening, by the second controller, for one of the messages in a first receive mode of the second controller, in which the second controller is configured to listen for the message at a first receive rate;
receiving, by the second controller, the one message;
in response to the receiving, transitioning the second controller from the first receive mode to a second receive mode, in which the second controller is configured to listen for one or more additional messages at a second receive rate, the second receive rate being greater than the first receive rate; and
after the first predetermined time period, generating, by the first controller, and transmitting, from the first controller to the second controller, one or more messages at a second transmission rate until the switch is deactivated, the second transmission rate being less than the first transmission rate.
