Experience with XTR Di2
Moderator: Moderator Team
So then guys, now the Di2 has been out for a while who is currently running it and how are you finding it?
Where did you end up placing your battery and wiring etc.
I'm currently running SRAM XX1 fancy a dabble at the Di2 as I can get it a the right price.
My setup will be - SRAM XX1 cassette 11spd, RaceFace SL cranks with AB oval 34t ring. Then obviously 1 X 11 Di2.
I'm just unsure at the moment on battery placement as I don't want it side bottle cage.
So be nice to hear your experiences and how you getting on with the gear.
I know I'll be gaining weight but I don't think it'll be a lot really?

Thanks man. Have you had any issues or miss shifts etc with Di2?
I'm looking forward to trying it out with the Next SL cranks an Absoluteblack oval ring too

A lot of XC riders already run 1x11 and I don't see why it'll be a issue tbh.
it isn't that it would be a issue, more that syncroshift is the big advantage of di2 on mtb. But 1x11 will work just fine to, probably less maintenance then with wire. performencewise, not as big advantage (or no advantage) as with 2x11.

Sometimes I remove my finger from shifter too slow and this will result double shift but happens very rarely. Battery life is less than in road bikes because powerful derailleurs but still good.

Does anyone know of an alternative to original Shimano charger?
Either that or just a USB cable that would have the correct plug?
