hello, I still have one issue where I can't quite figure out how to resolve it and it would be terrific if someone could give me some useful advice. My problem is that I can't screw the screw on the rear derailleur out much more than I already have to make the rear derailleur align with the smallest sprocket. With a mechanical groupset this could easily be resolved by adjusting the length of the cable but with di2 I have no Idea. Does anyone know how to di that?

#AskGCNTech I have been noticing what could only be described as oscillation through the chain on some of my middle gears while on the trainer. I changed my old Ultegra cassette with a new one and upgraded to a GOLD CHAIN! I've noticed that my previous cassette has cut into the splines a little bit. Would this make my new cassette and chain feel "dodgy"? I've been careful to index my gears properly several times trying to trouble shoot. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I must be missing something here: My Ultegra 11 speed Di2 will not shift into the smallest sprocket (12t) while in the top chainring (53t). Is it possible the front derailleur isn't adjusted over enough and Di2 is telling me it can't shift to the 12? The front derailleur isn't rubbing so I'm doubtful. My bike was fine until I changed to a new cassette. I hope I provided enough info.

Heads up to all of those who don't know, Di2 uses PLC (power line communication). That means it doesn't matter which ports your cables are connected to in the controller, as long as they are in-line with the system in some manner.

Good spot ;)
@SaitekFreak999 3 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Is this really the way to adjust the high and low limit screws on the RD? Shimano states in the manual that the derailleur position (what would be done with the hi/lo screws on mechanical shifting) is set electronically (Similar to the low limit of the FD) and that the limit screws are just supposed to be touching their "stoppers", with the high limit screw being backed off by one revolution to allow the derailleur to overshift. If you force the derailleur out of position by adjusting it with the limit screws, if I understood this correctly, this can lead to the destruction of the derailleur as it will try to move the derailleur past the limit screws into its calculated position which might fry the motor or power delivery. Shimano is giving a warning about this in the manual.

"we'll probably want to aim for about half a millimeter gap just to make sure it's not touching, causing any annoying rubbing" sounds like an early 2000's college party survival guide for women

This bike was really easy to assemble ukposts.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

I love Shimano but if they think I'd pay more for their wired system than for the equivalent SRAM completely wireless one they are fucking crazy.

Let's be honest DI2 became obsolete and irrelevant when etap came out
@AndrewGrease 3 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Another di2 video? Are they cleaning up stock or will they not release a wireless groupset and still push this to the poor shimano crowd?
@richiejames928 3 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Canβt believe how antiquated this seems when compared to srams wireless stuff. I mean your running wires all over the place you might just stick to running cables. fully wireless or gtfo.

I prefer sram red etap πͺπ½

How to install your Di2 groupset that you canβt buy because every vendor is down to zero inventory and manufacturers delivery times are counted in weeks or months. π€£
