Which Groupset?

13 speed

But you can do 11-40 with the Rx derailleur?

Yes. I have it running.
Shimano say no but it works.

Rd 815
Also with road r8050 md cage. Both rated for 34t max.

42T teefs ftw

the pulley offsets and cage length should make it shift an 11-40 better. i can also use the garbaruk cage mod to make sure i have enough capacity.

@Netakure i have found it difficult to get the ultegra rx to shift it as well as i'd like.

Quick question:

Are bits from Shimano 105 5800 compatible with bits from R7000?
Specifically the shifters from R7000 with the FD and RD from 5800?

Cheers : )

Pretty much yes

Remco seems to be testing wireless Di2

Interesting. Would be good to upgrade my old Tarmac with wireless but unless the battery life and performance is similar to the wired stuff, it's only really useful for Generation ipad that are scared of plugging stuff in.

@Señor_Bear 's next groupset is here!

Generic comment about "I will wait till its trickled down to Ultegra" etc.

I will wait until the Buyers™ throw all their 'useless' 11spd Di2 on ebay.

waiting till it trickles down to 2300

About fucking time. What’s taken them so long?

They’d better ensure it’s properly tested before release too. SRAM set the bar very high with etap.

Unlike SRAM, Shimano are pretty good at that. Maybe they finally realised with ETAP that product recalls do not a confident buying public make?

Not sure which thread this question belongs in but I guess here will do:

Can I fit THIS (Rotor 2D cranks, I think with 30mm axle) onto a steel frame with a standard 68mm BSA BB shell?

Perhaps using THIS?

Cheers!

Yeah, if it's 30mm axle, it's basically what I run (3D+ cranks). Look for "BSA30".

I wore out loads of Rotor bearings (and posh aftermarket bearings) and now use: https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Wheels-Manufacturing/BSA-30-Bottom-Bracket-Steel-Bearings/EQ65

Excellent, thanks. I'll double check with the seller but I'm pretty sure it's 30mm.
Might have to get a pair!

Is this basically a better version of the Rotor BB that does the same thing?

Is that dark curved line not a RD wire? Or is it the chain casting a shadow on the cassette?

Although the image is too blurry to really tell, I feel like I don't count 12 sprockets on the cassette.

As a nice bonus the bearings in the Wheels Manufacturing BB’s are replaceable making long term ownership very economical

I don't know if it's better but I seemed to kill bearings fast in my Rotor BB cups. I was riding across 2 continents a year at the time though...
