Thanks. As in video- is 1200mm cable enough?

Awsome review thank you

Good for Garmin to make things right. Just curious, did you write a physical letter (vs an email) and how'd you find out where to send it. Garmin is such a huge organization with offices all over the world. Well done. (time for a 1050 😉)

Geez, purchasing in rupees and giving credit card info to a Jakarta shopping cart, makes me nervous. It's like a couple million rupee!

Using my Echelon on a daily basis for six years now and besides some dirt there are zero issues. Would definitely buy again and praise the brand for their great products.

Rough needs to have some kind of virtual shifting if they want me to switch. Got the ones for Zwift and it’s so convenient

Outstanding video

Thanks! Super clear ans really helpful. Ordering the parts now.

Precisely that is the reason why I chose Rouvy. I want myself to prepare virtually for real world routes. How do you experience the realism of the climbs on the mountains?

Thanks!

Thanks mate , great video very helpfull!

Thanks for the thorough review Mike! I've been deep diving into reviews of these wireless earphones, specifically in regards to music quality and use during outdoor exercise, and it's good to hear a cyclist's perspective of the performance and use of them.

Nice video. Thanks

Thanx for the explanation, clear as fresh water. I got online the 1400mm cable and the connector for my new Cube Agree C:62 Pro, which mounts an Ultegra Di2 12 speeds.

I was wondering how you were going to achieve that 20° tilt with a fork-mount bike stand. I have the a Park version and struggled a bit with the angle. Still prefer it to my clamp stand when working on my road bikes

Have you found a good online retailer in Canada for the top-tier bearings? I know Hambini sells them, but with shipping and taxes and duty they get really expensive. Very comprehensive video. BTW, on the NDS, did you put the orange seal on the inside or was I mistaken?

Hi Mike, super random question. I have a '19 Synapse SE. I noticed I have a aftermarket steerer tube expansion plug, I found this out when trying to change stems. What I did find out is that some plugs create support for the carbon steerer vs others don't example is the Specialized TL7 Sworks recall because of snapping the steering tube. With you seeming to be a fan of cannondale do you find the cannondale expansion plugs to be any concern as they seem not to support the clamping force of the stem with their design. Or never had a thought or concern lol They just seem dramatically different from every other manufacturer. Are Cannondales steerer tubes thicker....

Hi Mike bought the EW SD300 cable and the EW JC 302 port junction what end of the cable goes into the Ultegra Shifter port? your videos are brilliant no bullshit just the information needed to carry out bike repairs.

I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

Hi mike thank you for your help on this on this video its been very helpfull .

I bought these insoles and they caused an increase in medial knee pain. Even at the lowest level of arch support (L1/R1) I find the arch support too aggressive. I am not sure how I could ever get to level 5. I do not mind the foot pain I got when I used them as it was muscle pain, but the knee pain was a joint pain.

Great presentation thanks. Just now looking at my bike I find the port on the left shifter but not on the right. Am I just not finding the right hand shifter port or will the left shifter connect to the right wirelessly for updating? I’m currently showing the latest update version 4.1.1 on both shifters - Ultegra FD-R8170.

I believe hookless is foolish and dangerous. It saves manufacturers costs, doesn't help customers at all. Just foolish. Hookless has been around for 100 years...it's called a tubular rim. Now ask yourself what the glue is for people!😉

How about the brass point on expensive carbon wheels ? Bad combo we can say ?

What a pain in the a....I think there is an hardware limitation on shimano levers to be updated wirelessly.

Do you think there will be a new model of the kickr bike soon ? It's been 8 years or so. I want to buy one in 2024 but not sure if it;s worth waiting until next year to see what they are coming out with.

Give TRP another couple years and they’ll be right there with both. I have there brakes and they are Just as good as Sram and Shimano if not better.

No credibility. What kind of douche does a comparison like this without comparing in Campy?

I have Di2 and SRAM rival on two different bikes. To me both are reliable, the big difference is the gearing of rival and the wireless. For winter riding, pressing two big buttons is on SRAM is simpler than Di2 tiny buttons

I dont know if its just me but it always seems to be the sram equipped new bikes both MTB and gravel that are always heavily discounted.

Have always had Shimano - and they are the pro's fav too btw (they're not saying it of course but there's an ex-pro saying that this is the sentiment in the pro peleton). But I'm sure I would be happy to ride SRAM too. Have a certain bias because I worked with Shimano and met the brothers several years ago.

Good news is that for normal person they are completely interchangeable. It really doesn't matter which one you chose as differences are almost indistinguishable and both works just fine and reliably. Also both are greedy corporations without any conscious and any loyalty towards them is misplaced, therefore I would chose purely based on ergonomics and on price of bike I desired. Said that there is one thing I would really appreciate and that is if they were forced to use more standardized parts like freehub bodies, Bottom bracket axel standards and chains so it is easier for consumer to buy upgrades.

only need to buy 3 different tools to update the shifter i already bought? Nice shimano...

No way Shimano is crap. Campy lol. The Hollowtech Cranks cracking is not forgivable. Don't care how well it shifts if your crank arm falls off.

Wheel top lol

I've said the exact same thing about cross chaining.

Mike, like all your videos this one is excellent. I recently got a 12 speed Dura Ace DI2, my first electronic shifting bike. I wasn't looking forward to having to pack up the bike and take it into the shop for certain firmware updates. But, I followed you video in terms of what's needed and how to update. No issues, and I'm once again able to do all my own maintenance and updates. Thanks, your help is super appreciated.

I like the SRAM red etap on my TT bike (with Shimano cassette, shifts better than with SRAM cassette!) but I don’t like the new AXS models at all. And you are absolutely right about hookless wheels for road bikes - they are dangerous crap - and about how stupid 1x for road bikes is. Shimano parts are mostly good and reliable - but their behavior when parts are bad (PM, cranks for example) is absolutely unacceptable. I like Campagnolo the most, best ergonomics (imo), very well made and working fine - also beautiful… but sadly very expensive

Shimano is an engineering company that makes bike parts. SRAM is a marketing company that makes bike parts

Does Shimano offer the equivalent of SRAM Force wide 46/30 cranks with 36t cassette? No? Well there you go then.

Its faster then all gravel tires above 40mm but ok.

I greatly appreciate the clarity, thoroughness, and succinctness with which you explain these systems. After asking, reading, and watching far too many sources, I've gotten no clearer and more complete directions than what you do here. Finally, I know what I'm doing.

Campagnolo vs Suntour 😂

Thanks, super helpful; QUESTION: have a 1x bike with Ultegra 12sp Di2 - can you confirm that I also can connect to the rear deraileur cable to avoid pulling the battery out? And can I connect different shifters from several bikes to the same bike in effect croos-connecting bikes for the firmware update for the shifters (to avoid having to pull one wire after the other on several bikes and just use the same connection on one set shifters after the other?

I had a battery that would completely drain overnight. Took it back to the bike shop, they couldn’t find the cause and replaced the battery. It was fine for a while, then exactly the same problem happened again. I finally worked out what the problem was - instead of the batteries being installed in the seat post using the plastic shims that wedge them in place, the shop had just dropped them down the seat tube. The battery moved about during rides and transport and loosened the connection to the wire, resulting in battery drain. After I’d properly installed the battery, the problem never happened again. Also, when I travel with my bike I disconnect the junction box (mine is an external one) to prevent battery usage if a shifter gets pressed.

As usual, this is a great, high-quality, well-researched video. My brother-in-law rides a Specialized with SRAM with electronic shifting. He rented a Pinarello with the new Ultegra Di2 on vacation in Spain. He was really struck by the difference in the shifting, smoothness, and drivetrain feel.

Good comparison vid

I vowed about four years ago to never buy SRAM again because of the poor performance I got from ETap Red 11spd and their move to the proprietary size of AXS. Plus the fact that once I put Dura-Ace on my bike I was wowed at the better performance. So far I have stuck to my guns. But I am going to try a Chinese brand electronic group next time I need a groupset.

Sram

Campagnolo
