@@mirekpyrsz2591 You are welcome!

Please see my response on the other thread: czcams.com/video/i2H_WHDshag/video.html&lc=UgzVzIFjF3vz7sirN9B4AaABAg

Have you looked into this video? czcams.com/video/phYUuFI8h38/video.html Hope that helps.

This unit is more than a cable. It gives you access to the E-tube Pro app on Windows that provides more diagnostics function than the Bluetooth E-tube app, but I'm not sure if that can help your E014 error. bike.shimano.com/en-US/e-tube/project/forwindows.html

@@italiansurprise I haven’t worked with SRAM components, but I imagine the process will be similar. I did it myself because I want to know how my bike works so I can fix it during a race, when I may not see a mechanic for a long time. It will be much simpler to have my LBS did it for me. The only problem I had was that I didn’t tighten the rear bleed valve enough and it leaked a small amount of brake oil on the disc, causing it to screech all the time.

See bettershifting.com/set-up-di2-synchronized-shifting-using-e-tube-mobile/ Hope this helps!

You are welcome and enjoy your new pedals!

The armrest is a Tririg Alpha One (tririg.com). It's pricey, but it has made a huge difference for me because it's so comfortable being in the aero position. Hope this helps!

You are right. I noticed that when I wanted to check the pressure and the gauge couldn't go all the way in until I removed the blocker.

@@howtotriathlon exactly what I thought. In your case the sticker around the valve will suffice to hold what little valve sticks out

Any downside on the lighter version? Like puncture resistance, etc.

@@howtotriathlon no when they work, they work perfectly well. Some are faulty but when they’re not faulty they last for months with almost 0 leakage!! Some of them hold air for weeks just like Butyl it’s impressive. They newer version in 24g isn’t available yet it seems though

It's the XLAB computer mount: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OPEZ4WQ It does an OK job holding the computer. Because it's held by a single screw and functions as the straw holder, so it does move around a bit when I'm placing/removing the straw from the holder. Hope this helps!

Glad you like the video. For the 12-speed, you can change the shifting profiles between 1/ manual, 2/ shift profile #1, 3/ and shift profile #2 by double-clicking the button on the rear derailleur. See here for details: bettershifting.com/12-speed-di2-new-user-guide/#rearderailleurbutton

@@howtotriathlonagreed, but once in Manual mode, cannot find a way to shift the front derailleur due each shifter only being a single button

@@toddswartz4248 Oh I see what you meant. I don't think that can be done on the TT brake shifters, but looks like some people worked around this by using satellite shifters: forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Triathlon_Forum_F1/Di2_12_speed_synchro_shifting_hack_%3F_P8031664/

Also what was the fix for the front wheel rotor rubbing against the brake caliper? Was this a matter of loosening up the calipers?

Don’t worry about the rear wheel issue. I asked my mechanic to make it work on my road bike and he couldn’t find the QR part for the wheel and the wheel could be messed up in the process.

@@shikharkumar7283 if I remember correctly, I didn’t install the caliper right. There are two orientations for setting it up for 140mm and 160mm

Understood, thank you!

Mine was a first year model (2020) and they now have 105 Di2, so I’m sure they have the new bracket now. Have fun in your project and wish you great results in your races!

@@howtotriathlon thank you!

I’m always trying to learn. Please share tips on how I can do better. Thank you!

@@howtotriathlon for one dont crush the di2 connector using with pliers. Maybe using a little alcohol to help lube the wire and push it thru that way instead

@@SuperDodoe that’s true especially with the new style di2 cables that are thinner. Thx for the tip!

Yes, this is a cavity under the stem cover for the JC41 junction. See czcams.com/video/0xqTxoqG_zI/video.html

I bought from multiple sites and the one that I used a lot was Universal Cycles. They always have the Di2 part that I need.

Yes, you need to run the Di2 cable to the shifter. See my installation video for details: czcams.com/video/VCDfeCTW9CM/video.html

I suggest running a test on the shifters using the E-tube app on Windows if you have the SM-PCE02 USB unit to connect your laptop to your Di2, or have a bike shop does this for you. czcams.com/video/IiU0FA5vEHg/video.html

Yes. I hope I can bend low enough one day to get rid of them all LOL

You are welcome :)

It broadcasts in both ANT and Bluetooth, so it should technically work with any bike computer, but I suggests googling your particular unit to see others have tried it.

@@howtotriathlon will do. Thanks for the reply

Wonderful! The Alpha One gave me so much confidence for staying in aero position and it's very comfortable. Looking forward to hear more about your custom build.

Who's doing your paint?

Thank you! :)

Any tips on hand protection while using those tools?

@@howtotriathlon The best protection is no protection. When rotational tools grab your glove it will take your hand and you won't have control over it.

@@leonbroekx Thx for the tip and have a nice weekend!

You have a sharp eye! I did set up my bike with 140 front 160 rear because I don't need that much stopping power for triathlons.

IIRC, the original BB was threaded and could be loosened by going counter-clockwise on the drive side.

@@howtotriathlon thanks

Yes, you should be able to push the cable back a bit to fit it into your frame. The Alpha One has really improved my time in aero because it's so comfortable and secure. I hope you like it too!

@@howtotriathlon thanks

I like it so far. Did two triathlons this year and felt that my bike is going much faster. The aero wheels and Di2 helps a lot as well.

I want to avoid cutting the front steerer tube until my body get used to a lower base bar position.

Most of the time the updates are more like a nice to have. However, there are must-have updates like the ones for my TT shifters to work with the 12 speed derailleur and the ones for supporting new types of E-bike components. I think I did an update for the Di2 battery, so even the battery has firmware!

This is the one I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0742K729M I'm still figuring out the best way to apply it because it sometimes curls up after I put pressure on it during a ride.

I think it's a better deal to buy Di2 directly from the manufacturer, as the P-series now has the newer 12-speed Di2. I bought the Ultegra 8100 groupset from eurobikeparts.com for around $2400 and I paid $1500 in addition for TT bar shifter, wires, brake tools and the ST-R9180 shifters, which I had to pay a premium since it was very hard to find. Overall, it was not worth it even though I enjoy the experience of installing everything on the bike.

​@howtotriathlon there are several alternatives to the di2 hydraulic shifters.. other brands that work with shimano di2

@@smb06 Good to know. I wasn't aware of anyone else making a TT basebar hydraulic shifter besides Shimano.

Yes, I used a EW-JC130 3-way wire to connect the two brake shifters and the other end of the wire was connected to a 4-way SM-JC41 junction box, which was connected to the two TT shifters (1 wire per shifter) and the SM-PCE02 USB unit.

I have a glue gun, but I'm not aware of black glue. Thanks a lot for the tip!

@@howtotriathlon here in sweden we kan by the sticks in alot of diffrent colors 😉

@@HMAACUSTOMS Very nice! BTW, have you tried swimrun? I think it's invented by the Swedes.

Which part do you want to see specifically?

The bottom bracket is awesome. Putting it on the Cervelo P-series...not so much.

Try holding the button on the rear derailleur between 0.5 to 2 seconds each time while the app is trying to connect to the device. On the Ultegra 8150, holding longer than 2 seconds will go to maintenance mode and won't connect. If that still doesn't work, try opening Bluetooth in Settings and delete the derailleur from the list of Bluetooth device and then add it back.

BTW, I happen to look at the manual today and it says flashing red means the battery is close to empty. Have you tried charging the battery to full again? You should see a green light when you press on the button once when the battery is full.

I bought it from Alex's cycle in Japan (alexscycle.com/) and received it in the states within a week. I suggest trying the e-Tube app on the iPhone first to see if that meets your needs. Hope this helps!

@@howtotriathlon thanks! Unfortunately the E-TUBE app is how I got on the situation to begin with. I was updating wirelessly on the app. Had my phone on do not disturb so someone calling me wouldn’t mess up the download. Well 65% Into the download the app failed and the download failed and won’t connect anymore and the bike is bricked and will only turn on for 4 seconds then shuts back off. So this device is prob going to be my only way to fix it.

@@mcbikewild9243 Not sure if this helps, bettershifting.com/frequently-asked-questions/ says you can disconnect the battery for 30+ minutes to reset the system.

@@howtotriathlon thank you! I will try pulling the battery. Much appreciated!

Thanks again. Just letting ya know Alex’s cycle sent me the pce2 unit in under a week from Japan! Incredible. I was able to plug it in once I got the right adapters and it totally fixed my problem! This is something I can see everyone needing if your riding a lot of e-bikes. Thanks for the info!

I can't wait to try it out! :)

I'm still putting the bike together and will let you know (hopefully soon!)

Yes, but the firmware has to be 3.3.0 or higher. I bought my shifters around December 2022 and they were already at the latest version. Please See my other video on firmware update: czcams.com/video/tN8HdLO2NsE/video.html You can use find the Shimano firmware info at bike.shimano.com/en-US/e-tube/project/firmware/detail.html?model=ST-R9180

If you don't have the SM-PCE02 tool, you may be able to update the firmware from your phone by connecting the shifter to the rear derailleur by wire. However, you may need to connect it to a 11-speed derailleur first to update the firmware, so it will work with a 12-speed derailleur. I also have a video on using the iPhone E-tube app for firmware updates: czcams.com/video/xBJUZM6jEAQ/video.html

@HowToTriathlon Thank you for the prompt reply Sir, I appreciate your message

Glad you like the video! I don't see any markings on the original BB. The one that I bought from BBinfinite was their 46mm x 79mm BB www.bbinfinite.com/products/bbright-directfit-shimano?variant=9864604227

You are welcome! :)
