Upgrading to Ultegra Di2 Shifters On My Synapse

[imschur]

Been having a lot of issues with my wrists, especially the right one. So bad that Im needing to do all shifting with my left hand. Went to my LBS today to see what my options were beyond the current Shimano 105 group. The result is the Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronics. While it would typically be out of my price range the local Shimano rep is going to provide my LBS with a demo unit that was in the display case. It lowered the cost 35-40%

 

I purchased the optional climbing shifters. I suspect they will be my primary means of shifting.

Sweet, Drew!

 

Been out of it so long I've never heard of electronic shifters.

 

The Campanolo set on the ol' Bianchi was pretty darn easy to shift...probably not e-shift easy though.

remember my fingers are about 1/3 the length they should be.

Nice score, but I'm not a big fan of the Di2. Then again with your condition it may be perfect for you.

 

I personally prefer going with SRAM's (Red) on my roadie and SRAM X0/XX (2x10) on my MTB. The longer cable pull of the SRAMs seem to make them shift better than the Shimanos.

When I bought the synapse I tested another bike with the SRAM equivalent of the Shimano 105 group. I could not shift it LOL
