Electronic & Hydraulic Shifting (Di2, Ui2, customisations)

Both unlucky and lucky at the same time. Did they say what exactly went wrong with it?

They didn't know. Seems the 'brains' of the mech were functioning, but not the mechanics.

Usual sram/zipp issues MK1 faulty/recall ;)

How weird.

How Sram

Ftfy

With a bit of luck they'll fix it properly on the first recall, rather than leaving it until a second.

so 2019 is about the right purchase time?

I suppose this is a good thing; gives me time to save up for it.

Given that SRAM/Zipp are still fixing defects on front hubs they sold in 2008, I'd say 2019 may be a bit optimistic. It's OK though, because I'd imagine Shimano will be doing wireless stuff by then, and getting it right first time round.

Wires 4 lyf!

if I had a penny for every argon renders as new DA rumour ..

Thought as much. Great looking bike though!

I look great after Photoshop too.

@andyp are you using Ultegra Di2 rear mech with NW chainring? Although I love the idea of XTR the price is double the long cage 6870 mech .. if I can get away with B tension adjustment and 11-36 with long cage I'll go for it .. plus I remember @Dammit saying that XTR mech doesn't connect via etube or something.

I am using both a short and medium cage 6870 rear mech with NW chainrings (50t and 36t)

Has worked flawlessly, although the max I have used is a 32t so far.

nice one, thanks! Have you 'hacked' the mech to increased its spring tension .. I know there is a provision for this in mechanical versions, not sure about Di2.

The 36 shouldn't be an issue according to this: http://www.gravelcyclist.com/bicycle-tech/bike-tinkering-101-attempting-the-impossible/

nope - running standard.

Sadly I don't have a money gun to hand, so am using mechanical shifting on my cross bike still.

You must've seen this then?

I hit the deck like the donkey that I am the other day on what I think was its 4th outing and scraped up my left etap lever. How do I go about getting a replacement lever, pop into any old lbs and ask them to help? I can't seem to find sram spares online.

Why? Doesn't it work?

Just wait for it to be re-called.

It works, but I don't like it looking like that. Best bike and all that.
