1. An electronic component for a bicycle, the electronic component comprising:
a communication interface; and
a processor in communication with the communication interface, the processor being configured to:
identify a first power on time, the first power on time identifying a time at which the electronic component was powered on by a power source of the bicycle;
listen for one or more messages after the electronic component is powered on;
receive, via the communication interface, a message of the one or more messages, the received message being from another electronic component of the bicycle and identifying a second power on time, the second power on time being for the other electronic component;
compare the second power on time to the first power on time; and
