  I did, with the Mourenx 69 disc.

  Finish is great, bike is well built, good attention to details (cable ports, seatpost clamp, etc..)

  The ride was not thrilling, to say the least. Bike is stiff as hell, but boring at the same time. The head tube was far too tall, and I felt like I was driving a truck.

  Maybe the San Remo is different.

  I will probably get my Ridley X-trail next week. Upgraded with DA di2 and Enve 3.4 disc wheels.

  I will post my impressions here.

• Electronic & Hydraulic Shifting (Di2, Ui2, customisations)

  in Bikes & Bits • 9 years

  

  Hello lovely people,

  I'm currently building a new bike (well, mostly in my mind for now). It will have 9070 Di2, and Flat Mount disc brakes (yay!). Reading this thread, I learned a few bad things:

  -I will have to use the 785 levers (hydro+electronics). These dont have the secret buttons for the Garmin.

  -I cant use sprint shifters, as these are special snowflakes with a specific connecting port you only find on cables levers.

  -If I want to use a climbing shifter, I need the 5 ports junction box. Again, because of the 785 levers. No additional port, no special port for sprint shifters, no hidden button...
  Seems like they suck, no?

  But something could save me. I heard Di2 is fully customizable. So I could use the left lever for the rear derailleur, and the right one for front shifting? Is this possible?
  Also, do I need specific and expensive stuff to do so, or my bike and a PC is enough?

  Many Thanks.

  To be honest I don't really know, I do not have the tools to measure accurately the height of the bearings.

  I would say 4 mm overall. Could you also send a few shims?

  I don't know if this matters, but the headset is campy style hiddenset.

  And I would like it black.

  Tell me how I send the money :)
