imschur Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 remember my fingers are about 1/3 the length they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 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.

imschur Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 When I bought the synapse I tested another bike with the SRAM equivalent of the Shimano 105 group. I could not shift it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
