PS are these products dangerous ? Can one e.g. die of an electrical shock say when riding in the rain ? And u making more global warming using batteries. Oh well I still need this product (I think.....?)
@boywiththorneinside They use this in cyclocross a lot, so no its not going to screw up in the rain and theres not enough electricity to kill you,and the batteries are rechargeable
@boywitht.. "die of an electrical shock say when riding in the rain ?"
Most definitely not. I would guess the Di2 actuator uses no more than 6V to perform its duty. Look up: Volz Micro Maxx XP digital servos/actuators, Airtronics/Sanwa, Savox, Futaba.
Further, a company such as Shimano would not produce an electronic device that would present such an obvious safety hazard. All such designs start with a brief and safety would be high on that list of design objectives.
@sonicstep In fact, I doubt safety would form part of any such brief or perceived product specification since that should form part of any 'good' designer's mindset.
Nice video did'nt know Shimano was German. when do we get the Ultegra 'Cancelara' inboard motor ? :-) apart for that I need this but I still think that 187 quid just for some wires is crazy crazy price even if front and rear shifters seem with in my economic reach. I guess they flog u these first & then u discover you need the wiring, clever bastards
I dont really see a point with the DI2 for us mortal peapole. Unless you are a pro I don´t think you need it. And I woud forget to recharge the batteries.
And correct me if im wrong but hadn´t Mavic a electronical shiftsystem for some years ago?

@boywiththorneinside The Cancellara-motor isnt made by Shimano, its called "Gruber Assist" /watch?v=jmPUze3WBTw
But it costs almost 3000€ without batteries!

Shifters for rich women! as a man i like a manual gearbox at a car as i like a mechanical shifter at a bike.

what about an electronic brake? not reliable !
also how about unifying the battery for the gerars and also the lights.

@powpanda I think a mechanical brake makes more sense because you can dispense the brake power better...
