Hello lovely people,
I'm currently building a new bike (well, mostly in my mind for now). It will have 9070 Di2, and Flat Mount disc brakes (yay!). Reading this thread, I learned a few bad things:
-I will have to use the 785 levers (hydro+electronics). These dont have the secret buttons for the Garmin.
-I cant use sprint shifters, as these are special snowflakes with a specific connecting port you only find on cables levers.
-If I want to use a climbing shifter, I need the 5 ports junction box. Again, because of the 785 levers. No additional port, no special port for sprint shifters, no hidden button...
Seems like they suck, no?
But something could save me. I heard Di2 is fully customizable. So I could use the left lever for the rear derailleur, and the right one for front shifting? Is this possible?
Also, do I need specific and expensive stuff to do so, or my bike and a PC is enough?
Many Thanks.
