This is a short article highlighting some of the wonderful things you can do with Di2. I’m describing what I can do with a 2017 Ultegra R8050 derailleurs and DuraAce R9150 shifters which ARE more capable in the breadth of functionality they support than earlier models.

OK. the 1030 is going to be released next week. Let’s play the game and publicise the planned leaks. This is clever. You fasten the 1030 onto a battery with the standard Garmin mount connector.
