Been happy with my Di2 version, particularly shifter hood size.
However the hydraulics have been an absolute pain to get right Manufacturing quality is a bit poor had to warranty my shifters as the 2mm bleed port rounded off.
motoko-
I get the feeling they scrimped on the manufacturing.
Even the hoods seem to scuff up easily......
ah well, Etap on everything from now on :)

This happens on all series, from R9170 down to R8020.
Problem is that Madison still doesn’t stock the replacement. We have like 20 of them in back order just in case.
That bolt is seriously made out of butter!Still, best hydro groupsets so far IMO

Anyone else think R8000 is fucking awful/had multiple issues with it?
I am really disappointed with it, especially after putting 6800 on my winter bike and it being faultless through a Scottish winter with little maintenance
in a 1000 miles commuting/lanes in London R800 has delighted me with
It also feels very flappy, cheaply made and indirect on shifting (compared to 6800, not campag), swapping cables hasn't changed this either.
I will say though that the front mech is an improvement over the 6800 though.
Aaah that feels better
