Shimano Di* do and do not.

Never ever had a battery go flat on me, but I have failed to connect a battery properly which resulted in the shame of pushing my bike stuck is a high gear up a big hill in front of various people who remind me of the moment at every opportunity.

INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the gear, none of them working

At least you can video them now

This is the latest Di2 seat post battery conversion on my Specialized tarmac. You can see the wiring exit the frame and the bottom of the battery exiting the seat post.
It features in bike charging, a larger capacity battery and two additional shifters. The bike now features modified mech's with some sram and some bespoke parts.

Here is a picture of the battery kit and charger.

I also have the ability to offer seat post battery conversions with in bike charging again for Di2 for those who want them and custom Di2 shifting and Di2 mtb conversions.

Approximately how much to upgrade a bike with mechanical gears to a full on electric jobby?

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Is it a road bike or MTB?

 

[themosquitoking]

Road bike.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

your looking at around £900 if you shop wisely, for 10 speed ultegra. A little over the grand for 10 speed Dura-Ace and big big money for 11 Speed

for the ultegra, that does not include brakes and crankset does it?

That's correct in general your unlikely to get brakes and crank set for that kind of money. One of the more cost effective ways to get the full kit is to find someone who wants a specific frame set and buy an entire bike and split it. I have done this a couple of times myself and you can get some great deals on bikes equipped with 10 speed Dura-Ace Di2 as everyone in general wants the new 11 speed these days so these bikes are sitting in the stores.

Maybe i won't bother with it just yet then, cheers though.

I've just started looking into this, with a view to getting a Ui2 equipped bike at some point in the next few months, but I'm confused by the internal / external issue. is it as simple as internal Ui2 fitting any frame that is designed to run internal gear cables, or is it more complicated than that?

Specifically I'm looking at a Planet X RT58 frame - will this take internal Ui2?
