Apologies for not studying your communications in sufficient detail; how careless of me.

TheDarkInstall, did you ever find chainrings that work? I had the same experience with Di2, Power2Max & SISL2 cranks. Mine wouldn't shift to the big ring at all no matter how much adjustment was done by myself or LBS.

I am currently running an Ultegra FD (I made a thread about my buggered Dura Ace FD...), and have that dialled about 0.8mm away from the big chain ring, which seems to be shifting a bit better at the moment. This is closer than recommended by Shimano, but seems to be working OK. I will try the same thing when I get a new Dura Ace FD from Shimano and see how that works as well. If this sorts the issue, then that will be good. If not, I will keep hunting for new chainrings.

So, no. I haven't tried anything else yet.

Your issue; you couldn't get it to up-shift at all?

It would upshift very sloppily in the workstand but never in use out on the road. So frustrating. I tried an FSA ring, it was better but still not great so I took off the Power2Max and reinstalled the Spidering... flawless shifting. So now I'm considering having a 4iiii installed on the SISL2 arm.
