Di2 Setup question.... bike mechanics??!!

BeBetter · 28-05-2014 01:52PM #1

Hi folks, just a quick query that I'm hoping someone on here can help me with. I'm running Ultegra Di2 on my road bike and I'm looking to put shifters on my TT bars. I did't want to go with the full shifter at the end of the bar cos they're quite chunky so I picked up a pair of Sprint Switches that will allow my to toggle up or down gear on the rear derailleur. They're designed to go on the handlebars close to the main shifter but they should be nice and tidy at the end of the TT bars... if I can get them there. The problem is that the cable on the sprint shifter is very short, it's not designed to stretch as far as the end of the TT bars. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a Di2 extension cable or junction block? I haven't been able to find anything suitable online, Google has failed me.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure if this article has what you want but it is quite comprehensive.

Will these work?

Hi guys, thanks for the info, from the Carlton Bale link I've learned that the sprinter switch isn't compatible with my shifter

THanks for the help, looks like they'll have to go back!
