Hi Shane ! As it always seems to be the case with you, another absolutely first rate review. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated Sir. Oh, and best regards from me in Ohio.

I love synchro shifting and have used since it became available. I'm lost without.

That was an awesome video! I have been using Di2 for two months and I didn’t know how to switch from solid to S1 and S2...Keep up 🤌🙏

I was riding DI2 for half a year and I didn’t know about synchro shifting so I tried this week. It is great, wish I knew about it before. I use full synchro, this is perfect.

Thank you I just got my first di2 set up trying to see if I like it better than etap which I'm used to. This video has helped me a lot 🙏

Updated my firmwares using your tip to connect to pc using cable... next semi or manual using your video. Dude you are the true shimano professor

Full synchro with the climbing shifter. It’s the only way I ride it’s just like a lazy automatic car, funny I drive one of them to. Brilliant Vlog Shane. There’s not enough info on Di2 thankfully we have you👍

Brilliant video. Superb!

Always great informative videos---thanks again!!

great infos for Di2, just got into Di2 and good to know about the different mode

Just what I wanted to learn, thx

I’ve had Di2 for almost 2 years and didn’t know how to change the mode or how to use it, now I am in S1 and loving it! And without having to use the complicated app! Thank you so much, great video!!

Tell me about s1

Small tip on the accessibility front for the benefit of those of us in the Northern Hemisphere who are about to jump into winter riding with bulky gloves: Di2 lets you configure what each of the buttons do, so it's possible to set up a SRAM-style configuration where both right buttons are set to go down the cassette, and both left buttons are set to go up the cassette. Combine that with full-synchro and you'll never misshift in the winter. You can even program the hood buttons to change the front rings if you don't want to lose that option overall.

I use full synchro when in my clip on aerobars. I have one aerobar DI2 switch there. I connect it to the junction box when I clip the aerobars on. No need to get to the hoods for shifting :)

Thanks, I was trying to figure out why the red light came on when I tested the battery. It just started when I got it back from the shop recently. They must have updated the firmware.

Full Synchro has probably got to be the best thing to happen to single armed/disabled cyclists.

Worth mentioning that the system also prevents you cross-chaining, even in S1, so you can’t accidentally try a silly ratio like big front and big rear at the same time. 👍

@wallacepei4529

3 жыл бұрын

The main benefit of di2 is that cross chaining is trimmed better to provide that perfect chainline even on cross chain. So I don’t understand how s2 mode really benefits other than being so lazy to bother with the front chainring shift and only think about rear cog shifting. For me I like manual, because if I were to switch chain rings from small to large, I want the larger gear ratio selected, not the same gear ratio

@thepatternforms859

Жыл бұрын

@@wallacepei4529cross chaining is still an issue and can destroy components and lead to less efficiency and power too. Synchronous system is perfect to prevent this. It also leads to less disruptions in cadence. If a hill is approaching you have plenty of time to shift to correct gear. I can’t think of any down sides to the synchronous system.

I’ve tried the same settings on SRAM red AXS. The “compensating mode” (semi synchro in Shimano speak) is great and I use it all the time. The sequential shifting (full synchro in Shimano speak) is absolute rubbish, particularly when out of the saddle and trying to put the power down on a short sharp hill.

Great job Lama :)

(and the MTB displays beep the shift before a synchro shift happens, which is pretty nice). Note that S1 and S2 are semi / full by default, but a user can change this.. and it's a lot easier to change this in the new mobile app - so there will be users where S1 is full synchro and S2 is semi-synchro.. or both S1 and S2 full synchro.. or any other combination :)

Both of these modes are great for most of the time, but not all. Sometimes if im shifting into the little ring as i hit the bottom of the climb and the grade kicks up i only compensate with one shift instead of 2 like syncro. There are also wierd things like the certain gears that people shift into before lights to get a good start that might get a bit confusing with syncro

I never thought I’d like/use S2 full synchro.. but I’ve found myself using it and liking it. Maybe I’m getting lazy 😂

I use full synchro because of carpal tunnel syndrome in the left hand which makes changing on the front difficult after about 45 minutes of riding.

You might just have sold me to get a Di2 :)

Yep- The XTR groupsets have Di2. Not something I have here to use or make content on though.

I tried full synchro, but didn’t like the loss of control. Using semi-synchro now, but I don’t quite have it tuned properly yet. It is good though not to have to shift the rear mech in advance of, or immediately after, shifting between big and small cogs.

I’m using 8050 group set, I can’t get into the 10/11 whilst on my little ring at the front, not that I would choose to use these gears however; when I want to remove my rear wheel not being able to engage these gears makes it more difficult to get the wheel out. Any ideas? Cheers.

What was the Dura Ace rotor in the background at the start?!

I’m upgrading very soon to Di2 (hurry up with the parts Shimano!) and I’m still trying to work out whether to go semi or full synchro. I love the idea of full synchro and it would mean you could free up more buttons to do other things (controlling lights, head unit, etc). Semi synchro is how I ride my mechanical bike so that’s also appealing. If I set the left and right Y buttons to shift up and down the cassette, could I configure the left and right X buttons to change screens on my Wahoo?

Say drop into 39t front to 28t back for some super steep hill. But I also don’t see the issue with just switching to that in manual mode.

How the eff do you turn semi synchro off! It’s pissing me off. Unfortunately Di2 can’t tell how big the climb is in front of me.

And as for the 2 gear compensation in S1, some situations only call for a single gear compensation, and some might call for three (rare). S1 (M) is the best option for me...

There are certain things in the cycling sphere that make no sense to me, as someone who has owned both compact and standard cranks - they are the same except compacts limit your ability to put out power on steep descents, otherwise your shifting choice determines level of effort so.... compact cranks are pointless. Shifting... if you can vary your cadence you can handle a wide range of gear choices....getting 20 gear choices is pointless. Crisp shifting helps, tiny incremental shifting.... nope. Cross chaining. I have one 3 chainring bike where cross chasing is an issue. On all my other bikes I can use any combination I want with no exception and no problems.
