Ultegra DI2

Hi

Just upgraded my group set to DI2 but I'm not clear if the pivot points on the derallieur need to be lubed

This was standard practice on my mechanical setup but guess if it's electronic no lube is required ?

Can anyone confirm

Thanks

Martyn

The dealer/installer's manual from Shimano says that yes you do lubricate the beast.

Here - knock yourself out:

It doesn't need much, and doesn't need anything heavy. Lube but don't drown
