Di2 was the next bike plan.

I don't want to stupidly through money around, but I'm not paying tuition (as I did on kid #1), wants my old car, vs a new one, flys coach instead of 1st class and and we just bought this bike at way under plan with 4 wheels sets - so I'm not feeling too abused.

We also are aligned with sponsor brands - Shimano - and have a relation$hip there.
Will this work?
RD-M9000-SGS

If not I'll look at the Apex, but don't really want to be buying new off brand stuff. Pit bike used, is different, and I think I can get away with that.
