This is why I love Shimano's Di2 GRX

[@keithreed5009]

I've set up my Di2 the same way on my road bike, called syncroshift. I now use the left lever to scroll through the screen on my Garmin Edge 1030

Lol you sound like a horrid individual

[@TheRivalryDrifting]

dam for ounce an actual good reason for electric shifters

[@flashfive23]

Couldn’t agree more

[@mttcwll]

You can change your own gears like that…

[@butters2614]

You can do this maunually while upshifting, even the entry level sora group set is able to drop three gears at the cassette with one long stroke on the downshift lever. Sadly it wouldn't work so smoothly when downshifting

[@flattrack33]

SRAM etap AXS has the same thing! Such a neat feature

[@tmhudg]

I have Di2 on my gravel tandem. I used syncroshift for a bit but went back to "regular" shifting. It still compensates on the rear (shifting the other way two cogs) when I shift the front but I don't have it set to shift the front when I shift the rear to a certain point. I still like controlling when the front shifts.
The other thing I love about Di2 is that it shows the gears on my Garmin - really helpful on the tandem.

[@Jacob-sr7rh]

Wow, that's actually pretty sweet! Almost makes me want a 2x again. 😅

[@bike314]

This makes so much sense. If all electric 2xs don't do this they should! lol

[@cjohnson3836]

Shimano and SRAM both allow you to program your shifting

[@justim4545]

its actually annoying in real life

[@ShinyUmbreon765]

They all can

[@kshysztof9649]

So the new GRX for gravel is basically what I do on my 2017 budget XC race bike. It's 2x10, and when I go to that big ring, the rear derailleur has gotta work too, so just a cool assist in my opinion

[@anthonyhebert-trudeau6995]

This is a good feature from DI2 but I disabled it on both my road bikes because I feel like I want complete control over my front derailleur and decide when to shift gear.

[@dtolios]

I do the same in my mechanical, although i shift two easier in the back when going ftom the 31T ring to 48T. Definitely more complicated than a button !

[@Nicoya]

I feel like this would mess me up so bad, like I'm used to being able to shift like an ape when I'm going to harder gears, and having a front shift happen unexpectedly in the middle of that would probably end up with a snapped chain and a bunch of tears. Long story short, that's why I run a mullet 1x on my gravel bike.

[@julianmcgregor7949]

Yes, yes it does. I have this setup and that's the worst thing about it. Everything else about it is excellent though so I put up with it

[@LastAphelion]

What does mullet mean for gravel, cause mtb its mixed wheel sizes

[@Nicoya]

@@LastAphelion It means a road/gravel 1x drivetrain but with an MTB cassette and derailleur. In my case, the gearing I get is 42t in front and 10-50t in the back.

[@sydandmacky]

You can also set up the Di2 so that it just acts like a normal derailleur with left shifter for front and right for rear.

[@diehardbikes]

​@@LastAphelion mtb derailleur, road shifters

[@WoodworkingCyclist]

Use it the same on my road bike... Like it👌

[@thecappy]

Have this on my warbird. Best bike ever.

[@diehardbikes]

Sram has thier own version of this.

[@josecamilojimenez2784]

Battery dies out in the middle of a race and the guy with the tourney mechanical groupset leaves you behind... Opsieeee!!!

[@PatRiot104]

I was about to say, ‘but those gears aren’t linear…’
Then why have ‘em on there?

[@saplovtv8579]

can i use a 52/36 chainring ?

[@tamholt3494]

ahhh damn that's awesome

[@danielray1558]

Thats awesome

[@glennpettersson9002]

It really is the 21st century 😳

[@valiantabello]

That's dope

[@blueskiestrevor5200]

Pretty sure sram does the same thing

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

It has a servo cable though unlike AXS which means Di 2 is less reliable .

[@yiannid10]

AXS batteries can fall off/be removed and are prone to not charging properly. That's unreliable

[@diehardbikes]

​@yiannid10 I have been running AXS for years, and never had this issue. I've also had Di2 for years, and I HAVE had cables become disconnected on tons of occasions.

[@diehardbikes]

Never ever had a battery fall off, even in a crash. (Cross bikes are dope)

[@user-bk2ns2xk6n]

Just because you can do it does not mean it makes sense. You have a lot more friction and the Q factor is different.

[@urobos1]

This has name in mechanical shifting… i don’t remember that actual name… dynamic shifting maybe??… I remember an one man showing me back in the 2010s

[@stephenjohnson4742]

Synchro shift hmmm well it works for some, but not ideal if you race.😮😊😂

[@cjohnson3836]

You are saying this to a video creator who likely has orders of magnitude more racing experience than you, and even opened this video stating he used it in a race...

[@johnathonhoneywell4778]

@@cjohnson3836 you obviously havent used synchro shift. Under load the multiple shift is trash. cool gimmick but if you have any power down at all it kind of sucks. Its great for just tooling around but definitely gets turned off when i am racing.

[@MakeCriminalsIllegalAgain]

You should just buy a bike that rides itself then you can sit in your basement and make movies all day!

A friend had a Di 2 failure yesterday .

[@rcg9573]

Yeah, sure Gumby. LOL

[@carbonfibercreationswashin7213]

Dirt tires on a road bike. Why

[@diehardbikes]

Because it's not a road bike

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

Very loud motor !!!

[@anthonycordero5733]

What a trip.

[@DanTuber]

If you're shifting up, why would you want it to go in the big ring at the front? That makes no sense. Also you would never be in big and big

[@rcg9573]

You're not understanding how it works, and you absolutely can go big-big (big ring up front and smallest cassette ring) in full synchroshift mode.

[@diehardbikes]

So, he has it set up so that once it gets to a certain point on the cassette, that the front derailleur will automatically shift to reduce chain crossing(aka crosschaining).

[@indrawidi5122]

Awesome, no more crosschain❤
