  • I think you still need the Junction Box B as this contains some of the brains.

  • the 2 port junction box

    What is this 2 port junction box of which you speak? You'll need some form of Junction A box, whether it's an EW67, EW90 EW-RS910 or a handlebar gear display.

  • Sorry, don't know. You're outside the official capacity ranges for both the FD and RD already. It may well work, but I've no personal experience of that setup.

  • OK, so cleanest would be the EW-RS910 with drilled bars. How would the routing go from there? Is it from the EW to the R600 and then to a B-Box in the frame to the battery and rear derailleur?

    I'm a total noob, so excuse my stupidity.

  • One cable from the R600 to the RS910, one cable from the RS910 to a Junction B box in the frame, then two more cables from the Junction B, one to the battery and one to the RD.

  • I think you still need the Junction Box B as this contains some of the brains.

    Junction A contains some active components. Junction B is just a dumb cable joiner.

  • Isn't it Junction B which is the one which usually goes under the stem?

  • Junc A is out front

    Junc B = bottom bracket

  • Are there any gravelbars that are Di2 Compatible?

  • Status report; it works, mostly.

    52/34 up front, 11-30 on the back. With a bit of jiggling the b-screw, everything works fine except small-small where the chain slackens too much.

    I reckon a bit more tinkering might get it running spot on.

  • I do realise that all this just highlights how unfit I am.

  • Got some R785 Di2+Hydro brifters coming soon.

    Any practical differences between BR-R785 calipers and BR-Mxxx calipers that I need to care about?

  • Just found the inner and outer plates to turn the 6870 rear mech from ss to gs. Around £23 posted from sjscycles

  • Just seen these at bikein. Are they just the shifter blanking inserts?

  • Trying to install new fucking VCLS seatpost.
    Di2 battery won't fit in the post so thought I'd pad battery and drop it in seat-tube.
    This is fucking fail because the fucking bottle fucking cage rivets stop it going low enough to get the fucking seatpost back in the motherfucker. My 5-port is full. Any other brilliant ideas for getting this pile of dogshit to work?

  • I've thought about filing the rivets but that would take forever and suck arse. I could strip the padding off and it might fit further but then I might never get the fucking thing out again and it'll rattle.

  • I guess I could unplug one of the shifters, plug the battery into that fucker and dangle the fucking battery in a framebag or something until I get a new junction box.

  • On canyon frames battery goes in DT, there is a space for it and a neat little zip tie solution even .. not helpful I know.

  • How are they inserted? Is there a special hole or are they fitted through the BB?
    Yeah doesn't really help but interesting. It's going back the way it was and I might get some spare cables and junct B online and then just bodge it and hang it in the framebag. If I had something to bore out the seat-tube/file down the rivnut it'd probably fit.

  • Through BB .. soz hippo

  • Don't think I have a file long enough to reach the rivnut, nor do I own any kind of reaming kit (filth!).

  • You could just drill the rivnut away from the outside, leaving an empty hole. If you don't use it for anything.
