• Nice to see you're trying something cool with di2!

    For your setup it all seems possible, I always check on this chart: http://e-tubeproject.shimano.com/pdf/en/HM-CC.3.3.0-00-EN.pdf

    Of course you would need a battery, junction box (or 2) and wires to make it all work. You basically have 2 options, (1) go for the bluetooth capable option that let's you change settings through the e-tube app or (2) go for the wired windows option. The second needs a windows computer to do the initial setup and eventual changes.

    The parts you'll need for each setup:

    1. bluetooth/app:
      BT-DN110 Battery
      You can pick between 6 junction box combinations:
      SC-M9050 + EW-WU111 + JC41
      SC-M9051 + JC41
      SC-MT800 + JC41
      EW-RS910 + EW-WU111 + JC41
      SM-EW90-A + EW-WU111
      SM-EW90-B + EW-WU111
      And of course wires in the correct length to connect everything up.

    2. wired/windows:
      SM-BTR2 battery
      and a pick of 4 junction box combinations:
      SC-M9050 + JC41
      EW-RS910 + JC41
      EW-RS911 + JC41
      SM-EW90-A
      SM-EW90-B
      and again, all the needed wires.

    Hope it helps!

  • @jaap that's really useful, thanks. First glance at that chart tells me that there is something funny about the ST-S705R alfine lever. The #3 note seems to indicate that it also needs an MTB type shifter and gear indicator to operate. This is what I was looking to avoid as I don't want the bar clutter.

    Let me look a bit more and propose a shopping list.

    The build is . . . a secret for now. It wont be everyones cup of tea, but should be interesting and fun.

  • The #3 note

    That's only for the MU-705 (alfine di2 motor unit), if you look at the MTB chart (with the XT rear derailleur) there is no note on the ST-S705R.

    If you want a really clean setup you could go for the same build as this: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=143555

    Just use a SM-EW90-A junction under your saddle, have a long wire from your shifter and derailleur to your seat and a short wire to your seatpost battery. Maybe add a wireless unit and battery.
