Di2 is amazing. If you do > 500km riding a year it's a worthwhile upgrade IMO.

- Matthias247 4y agoProbably. I did more than 20Mm (20k km) so far on my mechanical 105 in 2 years and had to replace a single rear shifter cable in between. Mechanical transmissions are not exactly high maintainance either, and maintaince is fairly trivial. Probably would have spent more time charging batteries in 2 years with DI2 than with cable fixes and adjustments on mechanical. But I'm still somewhat intrigued to try it.
- katkatkatkatket 4y agoI love biking because it makes me independent. Adding electronic complexity and the need to charge is the antithesis of why I own bikes. I might have to change the cable once in a while, but I don't ever have to upgrade the firmware.
- Glawen 4y agoThe battery need to be replaced at which interval?
- muro 4y agoIs there Di2 for MTBs? I'd like to get a new bike this year, but they all seem to be SRAM.
