Why does he have a cable coming out the end of the bar on the left? I think that's his problem.

What ever you do, do 'NOT' push that button. Super secret turbo MODE!

My Di2 is much simpler, buy the bike, ride it, done! I do have to charge it once every 3 months, it's really getting old doing that.

Once you can't shift the big ring, you got 20-30-/+ shifts. It only happens once if you live in the hills. If you charge it once every 3 months on the version I have, one never has it go down. Like do you keep somewhat track of how often you lube your chain? ... same with the battery. I now keep a log on all vehicle/bike maintenance, easy pezy.

Well yea, if you ride a ton of miles, my comments do not apply. I ride about 60m/w in mtn country and get by charging every 3 mo's. I would think most don't ride 150m/w in mtns, but some do. I have a guy in the next town over I follow on strava, he can go out for a ride and it's 150+ miles, up/dn 3 mtns.
I don't have a phone app, so I just charge it on a schedule that works for me.
I think 99% of the riders don't log 150 mi per week in mtns.
How many miles do you ride a week?

Elevation doesn't always mean you shift more, you can't make that blanket statement. They don't have a pie chart for my shifts.
If you ride up a mountain, 2500ft elevation gain, if it's all mostly 7%, you shift 10 times.
So how many times do I get to shift before I need to recharge?
How many riders are there?

 

[duriel]

I didn't make that statement.

I didn't say you did. I was refering to all the charts you posted.

57

I get 3 months of shifting between charges, sometimes 4-5. I shift way more than 57 times. I probably shift 50 times on a 30 mile local ride, I have 8-10 climbs of over 15% within 1 mile of my house. I live 1/10 or so the way up a mountain.
