    Looking to go Ultegra, and faced with the choice of mechanical or jumping to Di2.

    This would be on a year round use bike, not planning to race it, just get out and ride – but treating myself a bit too.

    So real world experiences of Di2 users appreciated, anyone that’s tried both and their thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    All and any input welcomed to help with my decision making process.

    I would love Di2 and my frame
    I would love Di2 and my frame has all the mounting points for it – but it’s way over my budget. I have heard a stories about batteries running out of power on really long rides and non availability of some parts for earlier versions. How true I don’t know.

    I have mates who swear by Di2
    I have mates who swear by Di2 but when it goes wrong, it’s a trip back to the dealer….. In one instance, the unit failed in the rain and it was one gear all the way back home.
    For me, it’s out of my budget anyway but I prefer mechanical simplicity myself as I can always bodge a fix to get home.
    Isn’t Cancellera the only pro hold out against Di2 ?

    I know my mates who have Di2 swear by it.

    That said my mechanical ultegra never skips a beat either.

    I have di2 it is so smooth
    I have di2 it is so smooth easy to change gear and has been perfect in all weather including doing the torrential London 100 last year. Battery last for weeks without recharging I do a recharge twice a month. Get the battery which fits inside the down tube. Nice feature di2 has is multi shift – keep the button pressed and it changes up through the gears rapidly
