Electronic & Hydraulic Shifting (Di2, Ui2, customisations)

I guess it will be SRAM AXS like if they ever want to compete in the MTB and gravel segment. They put all their chips in powering e-bikes I guess and that market is really competitive RN

Ingrid have done their own shifters for road. They're going to work with Formula to offer a full groupset... pretty they are not.

The kids love Minecraft, so this seems like a smart move to me

lol - before I'd read your comment I'd thought, "that looks like something my daughter and her friends made in Minecraft."

It's Ingrid tho so it'll be the price of DA

As a CAD designer, this shouts "I'll just throw this rough volume around the internal components for now, and come back to smoothing it out and making it ergonomic / look good later".

Except they never came back to it.

I bet the replacement hoods are really simple to fit…

With the ergonomics of a brick.

You left off the "AI image generator v1.01" tagline.

I reckon you might be surprised at how ergonomic such a shape could be; if the fundamental proportions are right and the edges are placed where your finger joints fall, it could be totally comfy.

... Looks goofy as fuck though

Whoever manages the Ingrid social media lost their shit with me saying “I’d be a bit cautious about buying Ingrid as they are very hard to communicate with” on a PinkBike post, rather proving my point.

(I’d tried to buy some cranks from them and they just stopped responding).

I think their business model requires a customer to have 100k+ social media followers, maybe that's why

Maybe that's why I'd never heard of them. Fucking boutique nonsense.

Quite like the look of the paddles. The hoods can do one however

Tbf you do often seem to have quite bad luck as a consumer. Maybe they've seen your post history 😉

It was just as well, their cranks are as ugly as those shifters

I'm thinking of buying a secondhand SW-R671 shifter to shift at the rear when in the aero bars. I have an older Di2 setup with the external 3 port junction box. Is the cheapest way of getting it in the setup with a Y split cable instead of getting a 5 port junction box?

You've got each shifter going into one port and then the third port with a wire down to the B junction?
You can run a wire between shifters directly so you only need one to the junction which frees up a port and you can reuse the old shorter wire for your new shifter. So buying one long wire for left to right levers

So when you say one long wire for left to right you mean the Y split, right?

If you have shifters with more than one port...

You connect shifters to each other in the handlebars

Then you connect one of the shifters to the 3-port junction

Then you connect the new TT shifter to the newly spare port in the 3-port junction

I do indeed have 2 ports on the shifters, I wasn't aware. Now I get it. Thnx!

Out of the blue on a ride one of the two paddles on my 12 speed ultegra di2 right shifter stopped shifting - the larger of the two as indicated in the photo. The other paddle still works fine as does the button in the hood. I’ve owned it from new and it’s only done about 1500km and never been crashed/dropped. It no longer makes the clicking noise when you press it. Is this caput or am I missing something really obvious?

That's typically a foreign object preventing full travel of the paddle. You might be able to blow it out.

You might be able to blow it out.

Cheers I’d thought that too but ended up needing to open things up to stretch out the springs. Handy video here should anyone else need to do the same
