This week I upgraded my older Giant TCR from mechanical Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 to Dura-Ace Di2 9070 (the electronic equivalent). I sourced the groupset from a Facebook 'Triathlon For Sale' group for a lot less than retail. This video covers the process I followed for the upgrade. It's not a full A-to-Z how-to but it'll give you a good overview of what it takes to do this update yourself on a budget.

Such an awesome upgrade. I want to do this to my bike too, a Giant Fastroad Advanced 1 with Shimano 105. I need pretty much exactly the same parts as you, but I'm worried about removing my Bottom Bracket since it's Press Fit, and obviously I'd have to source the mountain bike equivalent Di2 shifters since I have flat handlebars.

Greatly interested in this upgrade as I was considering doing the same to my Roubaix Pro Dura Ace bike. Sadly it's over 15 years old (still rides like a 911 Twin Turbo save the sloppy gear changes) so there's no access to run cables or attach the front mech. I threw in the towel and ordered a new 2021 Roubaix Pro SRAM Force eTap AXS. The lack of wires and 12 speed won me over although time will tell if it's worth the cost. Just looked at the new Quarq PM I'll need as well. Ouch. Love all these step by step tutorials Shane, I've learned so much valuable info. My best to you, Von, and Max.

That third hand thing looks a lot like those super expensive things that are supposed to make attaching, tightening, and cutting of zipties super easy. Maybe that's a hidden ability of the tool? Also, why get another derailleur hanger when you can just get a DA9100 rear derailleur. 😁

Why didn't you go with a Internal Junction Box? Although I think I know why... You need to either drill holes in the handle bar or buy a new one with holes. 🤪👍

It’s what came with the groupset. I’ll upgrade soon and do my own drill holes in the drops.

@@gplama tell me about it. I've already done some soldering for a non di2 bike, got the etube wires encased in my old jagwire links for the RD wire running through what used to be where the FD cable runs through. Still working out a battery solution given I can't access the seatpost. Thinking of a few options for internal battery. The other bike whilst also non di2, does have access to the seat post. Soldering the wires isn't an issue for me, so can be inventive.

Did not know that it was a country specific thing. When I was a kid my dad built me a bike out of a catalog and got them back to front, my friends told me to “do a skid” and showed me which brake to pull, I then promptly superman’ed over the bars. Thanks Dad!

That's a common response, but really, how often do you install a new groupset on your bike? Because that's the only time you have to deal with the cables. (while charging the AXS batteries is something you keep on doing 😉)

I already have a TCR with Di2 on it. That's a disc setup with thru-axle and a different bottom bracket. Given the number of cranks/power meters/trainers I get through the Lama Lab I've chosen to keep this rim brake (QR) bike as a 2nd option for testing.
