@Ed.R 3 роки тому
No but got bluetooth on my homemade automatic shifting system. Means I can program it to have any features I want. A fun one is putting it in manual and making the bike shift from a distance using a phone. Just because I could I also have the rear light controlled by bluetooth. The most useful feature apart from changing settings is data logging for performance optimisation.
@andrebaron1387 3 роки тому
I want the bluetooth unit, but it means I have to also upgrade my battery too. Ideally I'd upgrade my shifters and move the junction box to a bar-end one.
@BetterShifting 3 роки тому
BetterShifting is a Di2 site, so yes ;-). The Wireless Unit EW-WU111 / EW-WU101 is a nice to have, but not essential if you ask me. Still... I mainly use it to quickly see my current gear, look at gear stats and view the battery level on my Wahoo.
@ianmearsphoto 3 роки тому
Nope, doesn’t seem particularly good value as you can do most of the same stuff by hooking up your laptop. I can live with not being able to see gear info on the Garmin 😊

@@BetterShifting Your site helped me a couple of weeks ago, when, after a recent upgrade to the app and firmware, the app required the Di2 pass key which I had forgotten. (Previously, E-TUBE did not require it.) Had to reset it by connecting my bike to my PC. Thanks for the tips!
@cypercharged5960 3 роки тому
I bought my Canyon Endurace CF SL in August. Before then I was even not aware what Di2 was... It didn’t have the Bluetooth module so I bought exactly that and set the top buttons single press to switch page left-right, hold left for map, hold right for ascent profile, double-click left for new lap, double-click right for lap summary. And add Di2 battery percentage on one of the data field. All this on a Garmin Edge 520. Amazing and real game changer!
@alejodazas9824 Рік тому
So, is this compatible with any Di2 system regardless of the groupset? I ask because when I look the wireless unit up on google it comes as Shimano Dura Ace EW-WU111 wireless unit and I have Ultegra. Probably same groupset than you as I have same model and year. Could you please confirm.

I installed my D-Fly inside the handlebars by the junction box. Heard mixed reviews about bluetooth connection having issues keeping a consistent signal to the head unit when placed inside the seat tube. Also was concerned about potential rattle. Handlebars is the way to go Alex. A bit more work but well worth it. EDIT: Also, people, please update your components using a proper wired connection to a PC or laptop computer. Pretty sure even Shimano discourages folks from performing updates using the D-Fly and a wireless connection. Like mentioned in the clip, good way to brick the bike.
@grimp53 2 роки тому
Also: prior to performing the Di2 update with the charging/junction box plugged into a USB socket make sure to unplug any unneeded USB devices from the PC (joystick, printer, scanner, ...) as they may interfere with e-tube. I ended up with a dead left shifter when it failed to update the firmware.

E-Tube software has come so far in the last year or two. It was easy to brick things because the connection and software would regularly disconnect from each other. I stopped using the phone app and stuck to connecting up a laptop because of some bad experiences. I gave it a go again recently and was very pleasantly surprised. So if you've had the same experience as I, give it another go! (PS- I found that even when the app dropped the connection to WU111 unit during a firmware update that if I was patient and worked me back the update would pick up and continue w/o bricking the whole thing.)
@CHSS 2 місяці тому

Each button (left/right) has three functions that you can select i.e. three different ways to press that operate a different function that you have previously selected. The functions are available according to the specific head unit so Wahoo will be different than Garmin etc. in fact the Garmin head units have different functions available depending on their software that relates to the series; 800, 810, 820, 830, 840.

I'm installing Ultegra Di2 on a bike. I am installing a Shimano chain using Shimano length method. Before I cut the chain I double checked the big/big small/small combinations and I wound up with a very loose chain in the small/small combo. If I was to shorten the chain juuuust enough to give it tension, that makes the chain way too tight in the big/big combo. The fix for this would to simply not use the smallest cog in the back when on the small chainring. Apparently you can't customize the Ultegra Di2 to do this. I did some research and found this statement: "Note that Gear Position Control is not enabled on 12-speed Ultegra/105 derailleurs. If you're on 12-speed Ultegra/105, you can shift into the smallest cassette cogs when you're in the small ring. There is no way to change this setting."

Is the wireless unit comparable with 6770 di2 ten speed please? Thanks for your help in advance
@KMS2468 3 роки тому
or the 6870 as well ?
@BetterShifting 3 роки тому
Yes, and 6870 too.. BUT you will need either the BT-DN110 battery or the BM-DN100 battery mount. More on my site, of course ;))

DON'T update the firmware using bluetooth, otherwise you risk bricking the entire di2 system! Use the PC instead. If you accidently brick your di2, simply disconnect the battery for 30 second, reconnect the battery, connect the di2 to the computer and write in all the firmware that is corrupted.

can we use the extra buttons on the levers to configure as + & - for the motor speed in case of an ebike? just like we use them for a head unit? is that possible ?? @GCN_Tech

You still need newer battery which contains processing unit
@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589 3 роки тому
Updating the firmware via BLE connection is fraught with danger: It will hang up on random occasions and in the worst case scenario brick the component you are trying to update the firmware of. The only safe (and reasonably convenient) method is to use your charger via the charge port to run the E Tube software from a Windows machine (no other OS is supported), or if you're a tech nerd, get the SME02 module for component-by-component diagnosis and repair via a Windows machine.

firmware update over Bluetooth is a surefire way to brick your system
@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589 3 роки тому
Yep: seen it done. Sometimes you can recover the component with an SME02 overwrite of the firmware via the component diagnosis screen, & be very careful if you're trying to do it on 10 speed Di2.

@GregaJuvancic 3 роки тому
Dear GCN - These are no hacks, all of this is just basic Di2 stuff. And only about half of its functionality. Theres a bunch of stuff U missed/didnt mention. (turning on/off/pausing rides, timing laps, turning on/off lights, quick shifting by 2-3 cogs or whole range, changing shifting speed, adjusting derauliers etc ) U failed to mention that most of this stuff is only available on new Di2 groupsets (such as BT connection module, buttons on top of hoods...) and the older ones need a significant upgrade for most of the newer stuff to work. Also when upgrading firmware, always upgrade only one component at a time as if doing many at once it often fails and system restart is needed if this happens (disconnect battery for about a minute).

@DavidWilliams-nh2nr 2 роки тому
I would seriously advise against updating the Bluetooth module with the app. If it fails, which it did with mine, it bricks the system. Visit to LBS required.

Can you put the bluetooth unit anywhere or does on end have to be directly connected to the battery?

anywhere in the di2 sistem, not just stright out of the battery, how he said, it could be near the front junction box
@geoffwoods3653 3 роки тому
@@8paolo96 That's great, thanks for your help.👍
@BetterShifting 3 роки тому
It can be anywhere. You do not even have to connect both ends of the unit. Shimano explicitly state that it should not be installed inside the frame, but even that works just fine 99.99999999% of the cases ;-)
@manfredmuench2657 3 роки тому
Why doesn't Shimano [or some knowledgable 3rd party] program Di2 for totally automatic operation, based on Cadence? I'd love to be able to set my cadence to 85rpm +/- 5rpm and have it shift automatically when I go lower than 8Orpm or higher than 9Orpm. Is there any reason why would that not work? You would just need to be able to set your own set point and dead-band.

Google for xert bio shift 🙂
@manfredmuench2657 3 роки тому
@@lostercatcher Thanks - interesting. But DC Rainmaker's report was in 2O14 - before Di2 had Bluetooth. By now it should be a standard option from Shimano! Xert are overcomplicating the matter with power v. cadence v. heart rate algorithms etc. Just let the cyclist decide which parameter to use as a base and to choose their own settings - no need for any fancy algorithm.
