With Shimano 12spd Di2 components now appearing in Australian stores I've been slowly collecting everything I need to upgrade my Giant TCR Ultegra Di2 R8000 (11spd) to the new semi-wireless Ultegra Di2 R8100. This video covers the background of why I'm upgrading, the parts I'm using, and I get the groupset configured (and updated) on the bench before I install it on the bike.

The black and plastic cable tool ships inside the RD-R8150 box no extra charge at least in Japan. The SD300 cables are super thin and can still be used to wire the shifters. That way no need to worry about replacement of the coin cell batteries. Also, seems like the satellite shifters require the fully wired configuration (won’t work over wireless). Good luck with the upgrade!

I changed over from etap 11sp and the shifting performance is a big improvement!

Guess I was accustomed to just removing the battery and chucking it on the charger

Just ordered my new Shimano Ultegra Di2 12 Speed Groupset Shayne last week . Everything except the Cranks & ChainRings . I have gone 4 Rotor Carbon Cranks 172.5 mm & ×2 ChainRings . A 52/36 & 53/39 . Have also ordered sprinter switches . Will add a 50/34 down the track ( perhaps ) Rotor is lighter & the ease 2 which u can swap out chainrings is fabulous. Only downside 2 the Rotor Cranks is they are $$$$ than the Ultegra. Reason 4 not purchasing the Shimano Cranks , 2 reasons. Rotor is lighter & the main reason is Shimano have been having issues with there Cranks Breaking & deny there is a problem . Ordered 11/34 & 11/30 cassettes . 4 my 2 pairs of Roval Carbon Wheels. 32mm climbing wheels & 40mm Tubulars 4 Crits . Also yesterday ordered a Tacx Neo2T indoor trainer with the new plates that DC Rainmaker reviewed which gives u backwards/forwards motion. I am upgrading from mechanical, so it will be a big stepup 4me on my Specialized Tarmac.

Crossed over 2500 miles on this groupset last week and love it. Just a couple of notes: - Yes, the tool for the cables should be in with the RD. - When doing the bench testing, to upgrade shifters, just unplug the FD and use that cable to plug in one shifter at a time to flash its firmware. - Finding the charging cable connection to be a nuisance as with the bike upright it is a guess on alignment. 2500 miles on just 3 charges, can’t complain given the infrequency. - First shift every day serves a the wake up signal so get used to just shifting once when you start your ride.

A couple more notes on the new R8100: - Hyperglide+, this is a serious improvement as shifts on the rear cassette are great - even under load. - Shifts on the front chainring will leave you looking at the crank to see if it actually shifted. - Other than weight, the shifting performance is the biggest difference between the new Ultegra R8100 and the new 105 Di2 as the 105, like the R8000, doesn’t have the new feed ramps - If you bounce between bikes, one with the R8000, and the other bike the new R8100, you will absolutely know which is which.

I've upgraded 3 bikes so far. All of my RD's came with the cable tool, so I've got a spare if you need one. :P Also, I saw a comment on another channel that implied that you get 50% better battery life if you cable the shifters to the battery instead of running them wireless. I have a mechanical brake (rim brake) version of this groupset and those shifters are NOT wireless. i had to incorporate a 4 port junction to wire the shifters to the battery. If the battery life claims turn out to be true, I may go ahead and run wires to all of my shifters..

Hey Shane, Great video as always... Any idea if the new Rear Derailleur will work with the previous 11 speed set-ups? Perceived wisdom is that it won't because of the cables... However, Shimano now do a cable adapter, the EW-AD305, which joins the new SD300 cables to the old SD50 ones... Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Why did you put the bigger rotor in the front? I know the braking power is higher in the front, but the size of the rotor is more linked to dissipating heat more quickly, no? I imagine you'll feather the back brakes more often than the front brakes, thus generating more heat in the back vs in the front. So I would've put the bigger one on the back wheel.

@jonathanwoo6597
@jonathanwoo6597 Рік тому
No, the rim-brake levers are wired only. You can adapt any bike to Di2, although it's much better if you have a bike frame that has internal routing. This way the Di2 wires will be hidden inside the frame as opposed to the outside.
@johnl2098
@johnl2098 Рік тому
Before you make a jump from mechanical to Di2, please make sure you have internal cable routing - external routing would be bad. There is a mechanical BR/Shifter, basically the same shifters from the R8000 groupset with an adapter to bridge between the new small CANBUS wires of the R8100 to the older, larger ports used on the previous generation of Di2. These shifters are not wireless as again they are the R8000 shifters but you will get all the improvements of the new 12 speed and especially HyperGlide+ with them and support your rim brakes.

I can't believe the price level of the battery ! A 7,4 V (2 cells) 500 mAh battery for the same price I pay for two 10,8V (12V) 6Ah batteries and a charger from Bosch Prof... if this is indicative of the Shimano margin on the Di2 system I'm very sorry I don't have a lot of Shimano stock ! The SRAM eTap battery is slightly lower capacity (7,4V 300mAh) and at less than half the price. You need two of them so you will end up with higher total battery capacity on a 2X setup but you probably shift the rear a lot more than the front so you would need to "cycle" the batteries to take advantage of that. I was under the impression that the reason Shimano stuck with the seatpost mount of the battery and the need to run wires for the derailleurs gave higher battery capacity but that's actually not the case. Maybe SRAM patents prevent Shimano to fully copy there setup but in that case SRAM must have some very clever patent lawyers ...

@gplama
@gplama Рік тому
I believe cranks are ok-ish and will work mixing 11 and 12 speed groups. iirc there's a 2mm q-factor increase with 12spd. According to Bettershifting.com (and Shimano doco) the new callipers can be used with with old shifters, but not the other way around.
@OliverScheffer-Photography
@OliverScheffer-Photography Рік тому
@@gplama In another video I've heard the chainrings are 2mm closer to each other in regard to the narrower chain. So there may be problems downshifting with the 12-speed chain on an 11-speed crankset. I believe there were such problems in the pro-peloton last year when they had to mix groupsets due to limited availability.

I was told that the tool came with the levers but I didn't find it there. After re-checking all of the boxes I was relieved to find it under the RD-R9250. Also, I went from the SW-R600 to the SW-RS801-T. I've already done several rides on the SW-RS801-T but I still have a hard time getting my brain re-wired for the new shift buttons, lol.
