Check battery status and charge 11-speed Di2 road bikes
Просмотров 10 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Charging an 11-speed road bike isn't hard, and this quick video shows the steps and tools required to do so. First I'll show you how to check the current battery charge level - by pressing any shift button for about 0.5 second. The LED that comes on is a rough battery indicator. For more information on what the LEDs mean and the buttons do, see my Di2 Cheat Sheets: bettershifting.com/di2-cheat-...

12-Speed Shimano Road cassette wobble / oscillation
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Shimano 12-speed Road cassettes have a ring behind them, the adhesive ring, that can make the cassette wobble or 'dance' around. This doesn't always happen, but it's good to know what can happen, how to recognise it, and how to fix it. Read the page on the site for more information: bettershifting.com/12-speed-dancing-cassette-wobble-oscillation/
Unpair 12-speed Di2 Wireless Shifters

Using the PRO Vibe EVO Di2 Satellite switches
Просмотров 11 тыс.2 года назад
This is a quick video on my personal preference when it comes to shifting the PRO Vibe EVO satellite switches - SW-RS801-T for 12-speed Di2. While you could simply press the buttons using your thumb, I actually prefer to give the switches a gentle nudge. I'm not saying this is best for everyone, it probably depends on the size of your hands, and handlebar - but it works for me ;-)

    I started having a weird issue with my 11spd setup after 6 years. If you try to shift, it won't respond. If you shift a second time, it will shift, and it will continue to work if you shift multiple times immediately after...but if you stop for a few seconds, it will again go back to the initial state (not responding to the next/first click). Seems like a software issue, right? I thought faulty wire connection, and made sure everything was well seated, and also tried a different junction A. But the fact that it repeatedly doesn't respond to the first shift but responds to however many shifts immediately after (either shift lever) makes it seem like a software issue. Have you heard of this? Would bringing it to a shop with the SM-PCE02 help?

    • @BetterShifting
      @BetterShifting 5 месяцев назад

      Hey! Sorry, missed your comment for some reason. Problems like these usually indicate there's a problem with the wiring. You've already checked all wires and they're properly seated and not damaged(?), and even replaced the Junction A... Does this happen on the stand too? I think I would disconnect everything and build the most minimal Di2 system: Junction A, one shifter, one derailleur. See if it shifts fine then. *You don't even need a junction B, so I would leave that out at first too. If the bare minimum system shifts, add components one at a time until the problem comes back. That component (or wire/junction) will be the faulty one ;)

    • @squiresuzuki

      ​@@BetterShifting Thank you, I will try it! It's just the fact that it happens almost procedurally that made me thought software issue. Also it started happening right after I recharged the battery (after it having died on a ride). But in the meantime I brought it to a shop and they reflashed the firmware (?) and it hasn't helped. Minimal system is a good idea.

      Hey Alex! They can be updated using the mobile app, actually!

So you need an extra ew-sd300 wire, yeah.. that is a bit meh. You can indeed use the PCE02 with the ad305 adapter, but there is also a new link cable coming for the PCE02 - one with an sd300 end plug.

    Hi. My shimano di2 goes into crash protection mode very fast. When i jump of a curb, It goes into protection. After the reset method, it works fine again. Is there a way to make it less sensitive?

      It shouldn't normally go into crash mode easily though.. I've hit mine with a hammer before and it still didn't go into crash mode.. if it's still under warranty I'd try to get it replaced.

    I have an R8050 rear derailleur who thinks It's on the 11T cog, while it's actually on the 28T cog. This means it can't shift up, and if I try to shift down it runs into the limit screws. Could I fix this with this tool?

    • @BetterShifting

      Hoi India, no.... unfortunately not. I think I would first try the crash mode reset (without the wheel in) and possibly disconnect the battery for ~30 seconds. Now... if you're near Bleiswijk you're welcome to come and try it out with mine, but as far as I know this isn't possible.

    Do I need the ew-wu111 to update firmware on my laptop wired or garmin head unit? There’s so many horror stories about using the mobile app to update. I have the SM-BCR2 charger.

    • @BetterShifting
      @BetterShifting 3 года назад

      If you can, do it wired.. but that isn't always possible. The main thing with the wireless update is:. You is not have to change the passkey. If you do, close the app using the disconnect button. Then go to the phone's bluetooth device list and forget or delete the ewwu111. Then try again :)

      Hah, definitely! I'll probably redo the video sometime, without the time lapse. It's hard to see while trying to get it on at the same time though. What helped a lot was to move the bit that sticks onto the battery down a bit AND I made sure the gap between the beginning and end of the adhesive bit was where the top cap screw goes.

      Thanks. I have a half hour struggle with getting the top cap on, 🤔 finally realising the rubber o-ring had fell off the battery 🔋 and was sitting at the bottom of the external mount so that every time I pushed the battery down it was still 1mm too tall for the cap to fit flush 🙄

      This took me awhile to figure out. My battery didn't have the notch top line up the foam and I may have put it on wrong. The line on the battery is where there will be a gap in the foam which is the channel where the wire going to the front goes. Line the top of the foam at the same level of a little bit below the plastic top on that end of the battery. AND, there is a notch on the inside of the holder that fits into the round/O ring end of the batter. Without going into that notch, you will never get the back cap on

      I asked Shimano about this and they said something along the lines of "we tried it and 'bricked' an entire bike - we couldn't restore that with the SM-BCR2 so we don't recommend relying on solely that". But.. I tried REALLY hard just a few minutes ago and unplugged my SM-BCR2 at 15%, 30%, 50% and 70% and just cannot get it to break. Still.. if you don't have an SM-PCE1 / SM-PCE02 (I know Shane does), don't try this at home :-) ;-)

    Hi there thanks for the video. I had an issue updating my di2 using the sm bmr2 cable. It seems that all components have been updated but don’t know how it ended up with “master unit” blinking in red and say “undetected”. My system is dead! Now I have ordered the sm-pce1 cable to restore it. Do you think I’ll be manage to? If it is the master unit so do I come t it to the A junction box? Please help David

    • @BetterShifting
      @BetterShifting 4 года назад

      Hi David, I think you mean SM-BCR2 cable (and not SM-BMR2?). The 'master unit' it is referring to is (usually) the battery or battery mount, in case you're using the external battery. You should be able to restore the firmware on the battery/battery mount using the SM-PCE1, yeah. Keep in mind that it'll probably say "unit not recognized" or similar the first try, just like it did in this video. Eventually it should work though :). Send me an email @ terry@di2center.com if you cannot get it to work using the PCE1 (or comment here, that's fine too)

      BetterShifting _com Terry Thank you so much for your quick reply. I have the di2 Dura Ace (but 6-7 years) and also I have inside the frame a Dfly connected to it (but also 6-7 years old). I think it is external batt (but I’m not sure) but yes the same cable I use for the E Tube I am using for charging the battery (that means it is external batt?). It is indeed the SM-BCR2 cable. So I have ordered now cause of the issue an usb SM-PCE1 cable. I believe on the other side of the USB the connection will get into the batt charger unit (and not directly to the A junction box, am I right?) Do I try to do first an error check and go from there or what? Thanks again really helpful. David
