That’s the reason I keep looking at Di2/AX I’ve got shagged hands so I’d like to see if I’ll help. After a long ride I can hardly bend the fingers on my right hand now, especially if it’s cool out. It’s not as bad on the fixed, so could be worth a try.
Chaley-
Aerobars?
I've never really had hand issues, I think because I spend so much time using aerobars. Going to MTB has been a rude shock. I've got an issue with one knuckle on my left hand that's been there for months. I think maybe it's from the 24hr MTB but I can't be sure. For all I know I punched a wall while fixing a bike.
But going to Di2 after using normal TT shifters in long time trials definitely made a positive difference to hand/wrist/arm fatigue.
hippy
I guess it will depend if we end up doing more travel with her Seq or if we buy her something new. The original plan was to buy her a lighter road bike with Di2 but that didn't really happen so now it's into the mountains with the Seq. From a maintenance and travel point of view I'd like her on Di2. If we do anything bigger then Di2 has the bonus of being easier on the hands. Basically, time will tell, but at least the option is there. If @frank9755 ever finds my spare RD then I've probably got half the Di2 groupset already ;)
