Gear Talk / Electronic shifters?
« on: November 17, 2020, 12:42:09 am »
Has anybody utilized electronic shifters on a drop handlebar touring bike? I notice that some touring bike manufacturers allow for internal routing of cables. With Di2 components, it would not be hard to get a decent gear-inch spread of 20 - 100+ without problems. An example would be to use M9050 Shimano derailleur components with a 40-30-22 chainring and 11-40 rear cassette. I'm not sure if one could use Ultregra shifters with the mountain bike derailleurs, but it sounds like it would be a great combination if it would work. Any thoughts?
