How much was the difference between mech and di2? Maybe I should mosey on down to the same shop when it's time for N+1.
I was on a ride this weekend where at mile 80, my left hand went temporarily limp and couldn't shift out of the small chainring. Then again, I am an inexperienced rider on my first road bike with Tiagra 4700, so I don't know if it would've been easier with Ultegra mech and/or more miles on the saddle to harden up that hand.
