Thank You Michael!

I’m glad you found value in the video! Please consider subscribing

And that was exactly the goal of semi synchro! Thanks for watching

Why not just use full synchro? Hit the button to bring your gears down for climbing? How does full synchro have any downsides? Full synchro allows you to be in any gear you want.

You’re Welcome! Funny thing the other day I couldn’t remember how to get the different modes on a customer’s bike so I put my video on to teach him and remind myself 😂 😂 thanks for watching. Please consider subscribing.

Mechanical is no fuss no mess! I had Di2 back in 2009. It was awesome but 8 years later the novelty wore off and now all my bikes are mechanical. Sorry about the screen saver! Good tip I will turn off the monitor next time. I am not able to see who has subscribed past the 90 day mark. Thank you for your subscription please share my vids when appropriate

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 1,000 times with carbon it’s not a matter of IF but a matter of when. In the long run it might be good to have a spare rear derailleur. They are the most likely component to get destroyed when you crash or drop a bike. Also when they “upgrade” groups you might run into incompatibility issues.

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad Shimano has already released a new group, the 9200. Mine is the 9170 11 speed. So yeah, you are correct. I am future proofed. I also know how to rebuild the battery should mine go bad. Time will tell with the other components. I just know I will not spend another $3000 for a groupset again. I will most likely be one of those guys that buy the 105 Di2 if I have no other options. The industry sure has learned how to get our money. It's funny because my first road bike lasted me 22 years and I think anyone who has bought a bike in the last 5 or 10 years won't get that kind of life out of a bike if they ride every day like I do.

@@charlesmansplaining it’s a damn money grab! The Retro Grouch is back to riding mechanical rim brake and will hold out as long as possible! Cheers

It is absolutely the worst option for an experienced cyclist!

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad can you explain what the issue is?

@@thepatternforms859 why would anyone ever want a bike to shift for them?

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad it’s dosnt shift for you. You still have to do all of the shifting. All synchronous mode does is control the balance between the front rings and the rear cassette. This is done to prevent cross chaining, decreases in efficiency, premature wear, interruptions in cadence/power, etc. …. Basically you still have full control of all your gears and can shift into any of your 22 or 24 gears you wish. The bike dosnt shift for you at all. The mode makes it where you don’t have to think about the overlap between the gears. “Two Sets of Gears: One way to think of this to keep it uncomplicated is to think of yourself as having a bike with two different sets of gears. When you leave the chain on the small chainring and only make rear shifts, think of yourself as using your lower/easier set of gears. And when you shift onto and leave the chain on the large chainring, and only make rear shifts, think that you are now using your higher/harder gears. Which chainring you’re on determines whether you’re in your low or high set of gears. In actuality the gearing on double-chainring bicycles usually overlaps which means if you wanted to hit each progressively harder or easier gear, it would require shifting between rings, not just leaving it on one.” This is the point of the synchronous di2 functionality. In order to move from the lowest possible gear to the highest possible gear the sequence involves overlap and you technically need to be changing the front large and small rings while simultaneously continuing to change the rear casset gears.

​​@@thepatternforms859 so if i understand you correctly shifting rear gears as you normally would do and leaving front gears to auto sync with your rear gears
