Di2 Programming Set-Up
I've been riding my Ultegra 6870 Di2 about 10 times. The programed speed of rear shifting during multi-shift was too slow so I had it reprogrammed up to the next speed, one step below fastest. It still seems too slow. I'm trying to decide if I should try the fastest speed, maybe with the 3 gears per push. I have to take it in each time, a bit of a hassle.
What setting do others like the most for the rear shifting!

Just reading about some stuff on electric shifting trying to change my mind about a computerized bike...according to Shimano on bike rumor's site
Something to think about.
Fastest runs the risk of having the chain float on top of the cogs if you’re really hammering. That’s also why they don’t make it shift any faster

Why do you need to bring it in? Are you using internal battery? With 6870 you should be able to simply download e-tube project and do all updates, programming, and diagnostics on your own. Unless that's only an option with internal battery and related charger set up. I have played withy multi shift and have found that the setting second from fastest has worked best for me.

The interface runs about $160, for most people not worth it because the only reason to use it after getting everything setup is updates...which are not frequent. I'm not sure how fast you're expecting shifts to be within the physical limitations of the system, I definitely have trouble calling the system slow. FWIW, clicking the shifter repeatedly is faster than multi-shifts even at the fastest setting.

I went with the fastest speed, multshift. While it isn't yet as smooth shifting as a mechanical, it is fast. As I get more used to the timing of the shift with easing on the pedals, it will smooth out. Single shifts are great!
