What I don’t like-
- With mechanical components there is a physical click when you execute the shift. You don’t get that same physical “click” with the Di2 components. You push the button, but there is no feedback- just a shift (assuming you press correctly).
- With my mechanical components I could easily make minor adjustments, but I am uncomfortable doing this with the electronic ones for fear of screwing something up.
- IMO- the Shimano app to access the Di2 is not great and could be made more user friendly.
Teammachine is my next bike. I love BMCs, but they are pricy. Been looking to try another brand for a while and it's the only one that makes me wanna cheat on Giant.
Couple of things:
-There is a physical click when you press either of the DI2 lever buttons, it's just quieter (and nicer IMO). It's more of a ''tic'' rather than a ''clack''
-Adjustment are in fact very easy to make, but I understand that you may feel uncomfortable given that it's all new for you. The upside is that you should never need any adjustment. No cables = no tension loss = no movement. 10 000kms on my ultegra DI2 and it's never been adjusted.
-Shimano software and user friendliness is indeed crap. Very crappy. There is no mac version of the software either and you have to purchase a D-FLY unit to make it bluetooth. SRAM is a lot better.
