If I ever built a touring bike, I would NEVER build a Di2 bike. I had batteries die on me on the past and a crash/mishap would leave me without shifting and most bike shops do not stock Di2 parts. </p> <p>Coming off a SRAM Red bike, there is a visceral experience you don't get from electronic. I guess it's similar to my passion for cars. I own a Double Clutch car which is great for so many reasons, but I would never give up my 3rd pedals when I really want to feel like I am driving :) </p> <p>At the end of the day, it's what gets you going. Speaking of which, I am already looking at doing a weight weenie SRAM Red build next :) </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-37921 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:44:53 +0000 sevenstar 37921@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>hi joe</p> <p>i think its good to enjoy new parts and better performance and indeed on your moots the Chunkieness is not too obvious ..</p> <p>still IMHO most moots owners look for lightweight and purity...and when it comes to reliability i think steel cables are better than Chiptech...we see on cars how it works...chips make it hard to maintain and failure is often an issue...</p> <p>anyway i won t insult anyone who chooses DI2 or any other parts of preference-<br /> and of course shifting performance might be a bit quicker with the DI2..</p> <p>just wanted to chare a point of view.. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-37858 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 06:47:16 +0000 joec500 37858@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I have been riding for a long time, and love the purity of cycling. I installed Di2 on my TeamMachine and have seen the light. Is it heavier? Yes.. It's it chunkier looking? Yes...</p> <p>But does it ever mis-shift? NO, Can I shift under power?...YES</p> <p>There will be a lot of haters on this new technology as they are considered purists. </p> <p>I ordered my Moots with Di2 and I will never go back to cable shifting unless I am going for a super weight weenie bike.</p> <p>Here is a pic of my Di2 build:</p> <p><a href="http://instagram.com/p/R3ckhChRF7/" rel="nofollow">http://instagram.com/p/R3ckhChRF7/</a></p> <p>I feel the bike looks amazing with the Di2....but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-37288 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:09:11 +0000 29ner 37288@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>You are a better man than me. There is nothing on this earth I like to do for 10+ hours......whew..... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-37263 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:25:24 +0000 sevenstar 37263@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>u will be surprised any way u go...cr or rsl .both perfect performers</p> <p>u will feel a BIG difference to mid 90s litespeed or CF frames anyway.</p> <p>only the DI2 ist such a assault to me on the nice designframes....its got soooo much disadvantage.</p> <p>weight, looks, reliabilty.........</p> <p>think twice before u jump on.</p> <p>wish u a good "AHA" effect during the first rides on a mooti </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-37250 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:20:23 +0000 IronDog 37250@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Thanks for that</p> <p>I guess I’m looking at di2 because when I get really tired tend to miss shift a bit, as usual up hill of course, I would think just touching a button to change might help that.</p> <p>Also looking at RSL as I like the butted tubing from Reynolds etc. and I think it’s one of the leading Ti bilke builds around.<br /> The bigger downtube and head tube idea is it will make the bike more efficient but not too ridged, that's my thoughts anyway.</p> <p>My old bike is a Litespeed Vortex 97 vintage so a Moots would be quite a bit stiffer but being Ti not too stif for the type of riding I do, not like carbon, have tried Specialized and Giant and they are too ridged for me, plus don't like the dead feeling of carbon. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-36531 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:21:13 +0000 sevenstar 36531@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>maybe just get a cr without DI2 and ride on happilly..i think DI2 is a sellers gimmick somehow plus adds weight..i think if u just go riding a standart rig should work..</p> <p>i am more troubled by abused bones as such details that are not too important on the high level you go anyway..a good fit,tube size seems the most important specs while choosing a moots is a good idea ...the 44 mm steerer is good for freeriding mtb but the forx stiffness again is the real factor to keep in mind..especially out of the saddle.</p> <p>i would also always prefer a good diameter FAT tubeset if u got power in the legs..... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=31202#post-36515 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 20:31:49 +0000 IronDog 36515@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi</p> <p>Looking at a VAMOOTS RSL 54cm or CR of the same size<br /> My type of riding is now ultra-distance cycling as I can’t do ironman anymore, knees don’t like running but can bike all I want.<br /> I understand that from 54 to 55 cm sizes on the RSL the down tube goes up a size, would like the larger size, and second would prefer the 44 mm head tube.<br /> As I need a 130mm stem I don’t think the RSL would be too quick in the handling department even though am riding for 10 hours plus etc.<br /> Lastly I want 11 speed DA DI2 with a battery in the seat post if possible or the battery above the bottom bracket, I live in an area where I ride through Dairy farms that leave a lot of muck on the road. Would rather not have it all over the battery as it’s a bit toxic.</p> <p>Are these specs too difficult or not logical, any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated. </p>
