At the moment I'm rebuilding my bike with the di2. I started at de rear derailleur en the front derailleur. I have made the cable on the back white and I'm thinking to leave the cable on the front derailleur black. What is your opinion?
Is the cable on the back derailleur long enough or not, or maybe to long?
Should I leave the grommets black?

Timmy269, its an electrical cable, so there is no too short or too long, as long as it doesn't get tangled up in anything. The rubber grommets are going to look bad after a few rides if painted white, hard for paint to stick to rubber anyway. What did you eventually use? It looks like heatshrink tubing.

Oké, thanks, i think i leave the grommets as they are. I used heat shrinking tube. What about the cable of the front derailleur, white or leave it black so it doesn't is an eye catcher there?
