Electronic & Hydraulic Shifting (Di2, Ui2, customisations)

Thought the battery would be too long for that?

Not if it's an external battery and you use an external battery mount. Like this, f'rexample:

Were T Brakes two iterations before V Brakes?

Everyone likes a T brake.

I see. Not going to work with a saddle pack though.
There might actually be enough room in the seat tube - I might've dismissed that option too soon.

Why external batt?

Better out than in.

Just pop it in your jersey pocket.

But that's where I keep...

@hippy

this might be a bit of a help in your hybrid plans...

would be interested to understand why though!

@skinny still looking for that 5 port?

dunno if i actually need it yet, waiting on shifters.

So extra shifters into a junction B will work fine, if then linked into junction A. So you don't need 5 port to run 4 shifters, just a junction B to connect them into the circut.

Cool, glad its working :)

I think you can actually do it somewhat ghetto style by splicing multiple cables into one as well.... http://www.tririg.com/galleries.php?id=2014_07_Andy_Potts_Custom_Kestrel_4000&num=12
Yes, that is e-tube and not the gen1 di2.

Tempting, but I can hide them all I think. Need to pull apart my tulas and see how I can run/hide the extra wires now.

Christ, what a ballache. I think I'll go eTap for the P3 if I ever have a windfall and can suddenly afford this stuff.

Sure? 😰

Tried the new DA (non disc) today. It's....painfully good...

Ruth. I'll wait for a couple of iterations for SRAM to sort their design/recalls out first!

in fairness if you look at my thread on my p2 it involved one bit of drilling in reality, some people just under think and overcomplicate shit.

I honestly can't believe they made this and thought "yeah! that's really good for a wireless system"

I would think they could have easily made wireless shifters to fit in the bar ends of TT extensions that don't need another box..

I ran a Di2 battery in a Conti saddle pack with a hole poked in it for a year or so until @chak gifted me a proper battery mount from the Evans spare parts bin.

I've set up a Bolide with Etap, super easy as the blips cables just runs through the bars, but you can tell that etap is not at its final stage, the blips thing feels and looks like a temporary solution while they find something neat.

Plus I found the blips not "race ready", pressing the actual shifting button under that soft rubber gives the same feeling as you're pressing the switch placed on a hand/belly of a talking toy/doll.

I don't want to be taking up valuable storage space. I reckon it might fit below the post. I need to get the length of the battery to find out for sure.

So I plugged in my Bar end junction box and Y-cable to my shifters earlier today and shifting worked immediately, no issues whatsoever.
My 3t ergonova bar appears to be solid at the lever clamp area so completely ruled out, according to weight weenies the aeronova bar works fine though anyone able to slip a cable through theirs end to end and confirm?
