  • God that's lucky. What's the name of that bike shop? They might be able to give me a contact number.

    Rear derailleur isn't shifting. Battery is charged, is paired with the shifters and the LED lights up when you shift, but the derailleur just ain't moving.

  • Have you tried to pair again? As I recall, the rear derailleur is the master, so you initiate pairing with it, then pair to the shifters and finally the front mech. I had trouble when setting mine up initially, but pairing again solved it.

  • Yup, repaired them in the park this morning when I realised it wasn't just a battery issue. Have had a response from SRAM now and will send them my RD for inspection. Would rather have it swapped out immediately but hey ho, that's the way things go.

    @TTM thanks, dealing with SRAM direct now so won't bother them, but glad to hear you got yours swapped.

  • I heard some rumours over the weekend at Bespoked that SRAM are not in a good way at the moment. Pulling sponsor deals all over the shop in an attempt at reducing spending.

  • Big hand for SRAM technical support. New derailleur in the post, will be with me in time for laps on Thursday.

  • My shifting has gone a bit shit, just seems sluggish and had issues with a double shift on the weekend which it's never done before.

    I'll measure the chain wear but if I've killed another one already I won't be happy.

    Was someone saying the praxisworks chainrings were a bit shit when they were worn?
    Shimano don't do 11spd 130bcd rings do they?

    Perhaps the RD spring tension could do with a boost given I run a silly 11-32T cassette? Need to get hold of a 14-28 I reckon.

  • Dunno about all that, but I have some surplus Sram (!) force 130bcd 11 speed chainrings if you want them.

  • If it helps a 10 speed chainring will work just as well as an 11 speed chainring.

  • Actually, yeah, I've done that before on the TT bike. I'm an idiot. I still have some spare rings laying around. Fuck, I live in a tiny flat and still lose bike parts...

    I think I only have big rings though. I might still end up buying a double set. So, I could get old series Shimano 10spd and use that instead of praxis on a P2M? There shouldn't be any issues right?

  • I've noticed the Green light (as below) seems to intermittently flash every now and again and can't seem to work out why.

    I know all about holding a shift for battery level update and holding the button for fine tuning but this seems to be unrelated and I can't work out why. The battery is charged and everything seems to be working fine otherwise.

    I've looked for the manuals but can't seem to find anything related to this.

  • It flashes on every shift of the front mech to show battery level I thought.

    Wouldn't worry about it if it's working fine.

  • It seems to do it when it's sat by itself bizarrely, noticed it when watching TV, will keep an eye on it to see if it's draining the battery or something.

  • It has achieve self-awareness and has been trying to communicate with you via Morse code since last Thursday.

  • I'll dust off my enigma machine.

  • How would I swap out my stem-mount junction box with one of these:

    Is it supposed to be used with the shifter Y-cable? Is there another way to wire it? I presume I'll have to drill the bars unless I can get to an existing cable port?

  • Just wait till Pro alu Di2 bars are available

  • Thankyoubutnothankyou.

    I want to fit it to my current bars before the end of the month.

    The feckin' DA discs aren't available yet either. hmmpf

  • What are your current bars? I looked into it, did a bit of buying (@Dick did more than me) and arrived at that conclusion that its not worth it yet unless you are ok to drill your bars.

  • buy one now and try it out with 3 e-wires.

    L to R
    L to RS910
    RS910 to Junction B

    if 3 wires doesnt work then you might need the Y-Cable

    then just take the time to wire them internally on your current bars (presuming they have some form of internal wiring)

  • Of course I'm ok to drill my bars. I've already decided it's worth it, I just need a way to implement it.

    I think they're a variant of FSA Omegas:

    I have no idea if they have any existing holes in them or not. I'm ok with a partially external cable routing.

  • but yyyyy

  • "L to RS910"

    Will my R785 or whatever the fuck the hydro lever model is have a spare port for this cable or is this a DA swap only?

  • To make the charging port more easily accessible.
