Is this a new Shimano Di2 hydraulic lever? UPDATED

Hong Kong blog blows cover on something but is it really Dura-Ace?

WTD: Swap my Dura Ace chainset (52/39) for your compact

I'm not strong enough to push a big ring up proper hills, so I'd like to swap my dura ace chainset for an equivalent compact.

It's 7800, in very good nick - a few of the usual scuffs but nothing bad. Teeth look good too, hasn't done too many miles. Crank length is 172.5mm.

I'm looking for 7850, or similar - I'll consider SRAM, FSA etc . gotta be compact though.

WTD: Old Shimano 7 speed STI brake/gear levers

Any ideas on where I might be able to get a pair of these
from to fix up my winter bike, I guess it's that or a whole new drivetrain that I can't afford!
Current shifters are Shimano RSX but any considered!

Freehub Not Ticking

Hi all

I purchased a new Cube Agree GTC SL in August. The wheels are Fulcrum Racing 5s and the rear cassette is Shimano Ultegra 12-25. The bike is great but one thing I have noticed is that the freehub on the rear wheel only "ticks" very occasionally when I'm not pedalling. There are no other problems. Is this something I should be worried about?

I bought the bike online from a retailer miles away from where I live so it would be very difficult for me to take it back to them to check this out if it is a problem.

Any (constructive!) suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
