@zeuszuki6698 6 років тому
When I travel with Di2 I just unplug the shifter wires from the junction box . It's a pain to unplug the battery that's located in the seat post .
@andys9775 4 роки тому
For those who like the Di2 full synchro (S2) mode with wireless - my right shift levers are for shifting up and down. Great. That leaves 4 other buttons to have fun with. Instead of shifting my FD, my left shifters are set up to change screens on my computer. Double tap either of the left shift buttons jumps directly to my elevation map (how much more do I gotta climb?!). Press and hold on either of the left shifters jumps directly to the map. This still leaves me without a way to force a FD shift. Since I use full synchro shifting mode, I rarely need to force a FD shift, so I mapped the 3rd buttons on the hoods for that purpose. They are a bit more cumbersome to use, so they work well for something I rarely need.
@cccorlew 6 років тому
I added an eTap blip button to my right shifter to control the left shifter. I put a small hole in the hood and I used Sugru to hold the blip on (and tidy the hole). I can do all my shifting using only my right hand. Not everyone needs this, but I do and it's great.

@nosiestaguiding 4 роки тому
electronic shifting is so, so much better and quicker and never goes out of synch ! The little top button hack on Shimano is the bomb ! Additional plus, the Di2 has smaller levers than the standard mechanical ones which can be great for women or people with smaller hands
@wa22up0 6 років тому
Thats a very nice paint job; i wonder who designed it :)
@wirry 6 років тому
Never tried it myself but I've read that you can pair the new Ultegra Di2 with XT(R) Di2 rear derailleur for a 1x11 setup.
@kuanhau4323 5 років тому
I heard that you can swap the batteries on the SRAM. For example if the rear battery ran out. You could forgo using the front derailleur by swapping batteries.
@wolfgangz1018 6 років тому
To hide the junction box from the stem you can use a adapter from lightweight which replaces one spacer and hide the junction box unter the stem. Alternativly you can use the barFly 4 cockpit for the garmin and put the box under the garmin

@johnrodgers6049 6 років тому
I see one of the big future advantages as setting a power number and cadence in your head unit and the bike will shift itself to keep you there. Not necessarily for every day but for certain training sessions it would be great.
@fernandoroman6494 6 років тому
that exists already... i forgot who developed it but GCN has a video on it... SI rode around with that automatic electronic gear box and gave his (very biased/everything is great) opinion about it. I mean not by keeping u at the perfect wattage but to keep u at the mots "efficient cadence" for a certain wattage
@Ed.R 6 років тому
John Rodgers That future is already here for me, well almost once I finish the power meter. For the past year I've been riding with it semi automatic so I just select the cadence and it does the rest. It's based around a CVT so a little heavy but means a very precise cadence can be maintained with no interruption to power output. As a training bike it really is amazing to ride. Once I've settled in to my perfect cadence and power output the bike just goes like a dream.
@Ed.R 6 років тому
Fernando Roman BioShift is the name. It's got one big problem and that is its based on the use of old fashioned derailleur gears. Can't imagine it would be very nice to ride with it stepping up and down through gears.
@greghilliard7641 3 роки тому
I’ve just found out about the different modes by double pressing the junction box button! Maybe a show for others
@jackhenderson7155 6 років тому
Great video but which one do you prefer
@thegrimpeur 6 років тому
Cycling through the pages of a Wahoo head unit via brakehood buttons is so great, I might actually get DI2, just so I can do that.
@patricemorin 3 роки тому
Same for Garmin...
@vincenttichenor8373 6 років тому
The sprint shifter ports on Di2 can accept regular e-tube wiring. Therefore, I f you take a" normally-open" membrane switch and splice it into an e-tube wire, you can create very light and very discreet climbing shift buttons. I have mine placed on the bottom of my handlebar where my thumbs rest when I'm climbing on the bars.
@MiYoOwBu 3 роки тому
Im riding a SRAM ETAP 1x12 on my gravel bike and I especially enjoy shifting down while braking into tight corners. Always in the right gear coming out of the corner, leaving my 'mechanical' buddies behind.
@MrDtelson 6 років тому
For Shimano paired with Wahoo a short press on the hood buttons changes the page as in the video. A long press on the same button zones in or zooms out which is a unique feature to the one who computer and also really cool to control from your hoods rather than playing with the computer directly while you’re riding. I find this feature to be awesome. I zoom in while I’m riding. And I zoom out on my main page to get some other information and almost all of my favorite information is on one page. Great integration between Shimano and wahoo
@_official_laszlo 5 років тому
Can you tell me hiw to do that?
@richardmalcolm878 3 роки тому
Maybe someone's mentioned this... the Di2 synchroshift means one can set both right levers to raise the chain to a bigger cog and both left levers to drop the chain to a smaller cog while the front derailleur just auto-kicks the chain up or down the chain rings as per your set-up... easy for thick gloves in winter... works brilliantly for me...
@gonetoearth007 6 років тому
Nice tips guys! BTW bad ass (literally) Fizik saddle on Lasty's bike!
@Samqui68 6 років тому
Best hack is to use Velcro tape to mount your junction box underneath your stem. Get rid of that ugly rubber band cluttering the view of your beautiful stem. I will post a picture in Instagram using the hashtag GCNhacks
@gcn 6 років тому
Thanks Mark, would love to see that!
@pavanatanaya 6 років тому
Or better yet, use the bar end J box. Its not always possible, but get that stuff internal
@TLa08 6 років тому
Or you get the Tilquist Garmin mount and put the junction box on that: myalbum.com/photo/A6pGIls3DDLH/1k0.jpg myalbum.com/photo/tmStoqMPC74D/1k0.jpg myalbum.com/photo/7jOW04CBNA0W/1k0.jpg #GCNHACK :D
@andynewsom 3 роки тому
The heat shrink tip is cool, I did it on my latest build, but he didn’t mention that it’s pretty involved because you have to slide the heat shrink onto the brake hose and di2 cable before connecting the brake hose to the brake lever. Then once the brakes are set up, it’s kind of a big deal to redo it, so plan it all out beforehand and don’t make any mistakes.

Micro adjusting is cool especially changing a wheel in a race and the shift indexing is out
@MrMarek19 3 роки тому
It's great works very good
@GH-iw5ew 5 років тому
Thanks great hacks. One is wrong (possibly, depending on firmware version.) If you travel and your di2 lever is pushed on constantly, it will understand and shut itself off and not try to keep signalling and using the battery. Since this occurs in the lever the batter is not discharged anymore. At least that is how it is in the original firmware for 6070. Given the above, it is an easy thing to test if the current version of your system is performing in the smart way. I also agree with Shimano giving great options for electronic shifting and depending on people being smart; while just the opposite is true of Sram, which also has quite a following. :)
@OguzhanMeral 5 років тому
When you turn the pedal continuously and push the button for 10 seconds under the box on Shimano Di2 it will automatically adjust the gears. Do it before the micro adjust!

@bobzuidema3560 4 роки тому
In one of your videos you showed that Jumbo/Visma on their Oltre XR4's wich they used at the time they managed to move the junction box to a position underneath the saddle, could you do a video on how that's done? Not that interesting for Oltre XR4 anymore but it does for the XR3 and I bet many more bikes as well.
@dennypeat6265 6 років тому
Hi i have just purchased the DI2 8070 hoods and hydrolic brakes. The hoods dont have the port for the sprint shifters only 2 normal ports each side. I have been using the hack you show above and its fantastic and i dont want to change it. The reason I bought the new set is to have hydrolic disc brakes rather than cables Any way round this problem, could I cut the special plugs off and replace them with standard ones. Would this work????
@AirwaveMustang 3 роки тому
If you don't want to disconnect your brake hose to install the heat shrink tube, another option is to use self vulcanizing tape. It doesn't have any glue (like electrical tape) so it doesn't become a sticky mess if you ever have to remove it in the future.
@mkii9110 6 років тому
i bought my etap on my cervelo s5 and its really good however maybe due to the bbright and rotor crank it does not work cross chain or closest two to cross chain and in 53-11 or any last three , the noice is supper loud even after proper indexing i have another set of etap on my giant trinity with full sram groupset and it works soooooooo good even cross chain what so ever no problem and extremely quiet!

Sram brip button is really useless as use sprint shifter. However You can use Di2's sprint shifter to Etap. Just Cut the connecter of blip and wire to Sprint shifter. and it works. and If you have a right size of connecter you can DIY, too.

@lachlans8638 6 років тому
Make your own much cheaper di2 climbing shifters on the tops by buying waterproof tactile switches. Then get one di2 wire long enough so when cut in half can reach from the hood Sprint shifter port to the bar tops. Solder the switch to the wire (Si after the P2max video you maybe should get some help) plug it into the Sprint shifter port and bingo comfy bartop shifting. Run your bar tape over it and punch a small hole for the button to poke through. You'd never know it's there and you can add another in parallel in the drops. Cheap and looks better than shims option. Love mine.
@Kyoshinko 6 років тому
Lachlan, Do you have a waterproof tactile switch that you would recommend? How would they work in parallel?
@lachlans8638 6 років тому
Kyoshinko any good quality waterproof rated tactile switch will do from an electronics shop or online store like RS or element14. Pick one that's long enough just to stick out from the bar tape you run. Also would recommend using some hot glue over the soldered terminals so that they cannot short in the rain. If you wire a climbing and Sprint switch in parallel then both cam be used using the 1 port on the hoods. Either can be pressed to do the same function (shift down o the right or shift up on the left)

@klausvogler6710 5 років тому
Hoihoi :) Does anyone know: I have an Ultegra Di2 bike with the shifter elements integrated in the brake levers and the junction box strapped under the stem. Now I want to upgrade my clip on aerobars with a pair of bar end satelite shifters like the sw-r671. My question is: Are the bar end shifters all I need, or do I need a different junction box as well? And how is it setup? Do I need a special cable (other than the USB recharge cable) to configure it? Any hints are appreciated :)
@tedmarz9120 4 роки тому
Klaus Vogler you should be able to. There is an extra set of ports in the hood shifters for that purpose.

@MrDtelson 6 років тому
Just got a 2018 Tarmac Pro with UDI2. No longer has the external box rather has stuff in the seat post and the buttons and charger port on the handlebar plug. Very clean. I added sprinter buttons on the drops. That is a killer feature. Also adding the wahoo controls in the hood buttons on tip is another super killer feature. BUT this is high tech stuff and thinks can and will go wrong. I was in the middle of a firmware upgrade via my iPhone when a call came in "he dude how is your new bike". It crashed my Di2!!!! Bike is useless and SI2 is completely dead. So I'm headed to the shop where we will do the upgrade vi a fixed wire (I don't have that interface and don't have PC in my house on Macs). So, there is the high tech world for you. Cool stuff, but things can go wrong. Bottom line, I have only ridden the stuff a couple times and its seems so slick. Love the Sprinter shifters really! Yet to get the wahoo integration working BUT the Wahoo element is sooooo slick after coming off a decade of garmin, I am sure all will work out. Hitting page or laps or perhaps zoom from the bar hood will be awesome. I'm glad I have the new stuff. not looking back. ps. I didn't get disk brakes, Being a MTB guy I have many bikes with disk. I'm OK that this road bike down have it. They have issues too and the new regular brakes are insanely awesome too.

How much assembly is required?
@patobriant8073 6 років тому
Maybe not really a "hack". For those of us who love the way eshifting "just works" but do not necessarily love the price tag, save around 1/2 the cash. a) going to a Shimano XT Di2 1x11 and lose the front mech + wires. With standard road chain rings, I recommend running a chain keeper. b)substitute Shimano R600 remote climbing shifters for the Di-2 STI shifters. On a road bike with a 52 tooth chain ring in front and an 11-42 cassette, the gear range will be similar to most 2x11 setups. Just not as closely spaced. It does take a bit of time to get the right position for the buttons and used to shift buttons instead of levers.

How can you disconnect an internally routed Shimano Di2 system battery when you want to travel? junction boxes are inside the frame, right?
@aaronw1375 4 роки тому
Saeed Aria most bikes have an external junction box in the front. You can pull the battery cable there.
@ariasaeed 4 роки тому
@@aaronw1375 You are right. But that was the case for previous version of Di systems. Now, for example Shimano Ultegra 8 series have the junction box inside the handle bar. I think I should put a socket or connection where the wires come out of handle bar and want to go inside the frame.
@richardtydryszewski8919 6 років тому
di2 also has synchronized or semi synchro shifting modes available thru the etube app which will automatically shift gears off the amount of shifts you make to the cassette or to the front chain rings to get the perfect gear ratio. Di2 also has auto trim which will automatically trim the front deraileur when you shift from lower to higher gears on the cassette without shifting the front chain ring so that you dont get chain rub like you normally would on a mechanical system its like holding your front shifter a little bit so that you dont get chain rub on a mech system. With di2 you can also switch which side shifts what deraileur as well so if you wanted the left side to shift the rear you can swap it without changing any wires around using the etube app. I am waiting for my first di2 system to come in the mail with a used bike i bought off ebay idk if ill be able to use etube with it or not from what i understand you need a certain battery to use the synchro features.
