The fact that it now adopts the Ultegra version of the wiring harness means that if you have Ultegra Di2, you can add upgrades as you go.
I also like the factory version of the internal battery (as many after market people have been doing anyway).
Be interesting to see what the prioce ends up at !!

Does it have a charging port in the seat post? It'd be a PITA to remove the seatpost every time you need to charge the battery.
Still no option to run off a hub dynamo?

given how infrequent charging is required... ie once every few months at the most, its not such a PITA, but would be a nice option....rkelsen wrote:It certainly looks cleaner than the current version.

Exerpt from BR article:
"The next big change is a new optional internal battery, available to fit either in the seatpost, seat tube or down tube. To get around any charging issues, a new junction box port will allow the battery to be charged in situ. As the internal battery doesn't require the same level of weatherproofing as the external version (though it's still fully sealed), it weighs 60 percent less."
not sure how accessible that will be however if u run the internal wiring kit?

They show the junction box later in the article, it's mounted under the stem and there's a three port of five port option as the junction box is also where you plug in additional controls or a flightdeck computer.Dr_Mutley wrote:not sure how accessible that will be however if u run the internal wiring kit?
edit: rereading, the flightdeck connects to the 5 port box only and via ANT+.

What, undo and re-tighten one allen bolt every six months?
There wouldn't be much call for it as most of the Di2 sales would be for roadies/racer, most of whom are weight concious and therefore wouldn't contemplate a dynamo, they are more for commuters or tourersrkelsen wrote: Still no option to run off a hub dynamo?

This might also explain the other thread where someone said DA wheels had gone out of production.Shimano also has introduced a new line of seven DuraAce wheels. with wider rims. Everything from 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 75mm alloy/carbon clinchers.

The Shimano press release didn’t indicate retail pricing yet, but other sources I’ve found indicates the following (USD):
Wheels range from $1,400 to $3,500 per set (depending on configuration).
DuraAce mechanical 9000 Groupset: $2,695
Di2 9070: $4,139

Yes, sure you can get lighter groupsets than DA Di2 but sometimes the alleged performance advantages or just outright bling value make it more desirable over the lighter versions. Dynamos have neither when it comes to a road bike. Di2 only requires charging every 6 months or so and it only takes about 30 mins so no real advantage to running a dynamo just for charging this. perhaps if you had a dynamo already on a training bike to run headlights, but on a training bike you would be unlikely to have Di2 anyway.

From the Fair Wheel Bikes blub (part 3), it seems that this may not be the case ...
The new 11sp wheels will take 10sp, and splines same, or am I mistaken ?The freehub body has grown in length by 1.85mm. The spline pattern is the same as existing 10 speed so new 11 speed wheels are compatible with 10 speed cassettes. There is a 1.85mm spacer that will be used in addition to the 1mm spacer that is used already with 10 speed. This increase in freehub body has led to a change in lacing, all the new rear wheels are 21 spoke triplet laced. 14 drive side spokes laced 3 cross and 7 non drive side spokes radially laced. Right flanges had to be moved in to make space for the new body but the left flanges have moved out increasing the bracing angle by 7mm, which is a significant amount. The lower profile rims also use an offset drilled rim. The new hubs have retained 130mm spacing despite claims by some that there has been an increase in OLN spacing

New bike will be next year some time so 9000 will be the Shimano groupset on the bike if I go for Dura Ace.The freehub body has grown in length by 1.85mm. The spline pattern is the same as existing 10 speed so new 11 speed wheels are compatible with 10 speed cassettes. There is a 1.85mm spacer that will be used in addition to the 1mm spacer that is used already with 10 speed.

As you quoted the new freehub body has grown in length which mean the new 11 speed cassettes will not be compatable with 10 speed hubs. So all my old wheels will no longer be suitable for the new groupset.

Either way, i can't afford it, but hoping that Ultegra Di2 will come down a bit more

According to this paste from WW (author of the 3 DA reviews that links were posted above), it seems that since they have kept the same 130mm OLN dimension, a new freehub will solve this. Now whether that is affordable/available for most manufacturers is another issue again, so not all hope may be lostmadcow wrote:
Basically any company that makes an existing hub which can be switched from Shimano to Campag or vice versa without redishing (DT, Tune 170 etc...) should have no real issue putting the new freehub body on the existing hub shell. Those that do not have that ability, (Alchemy, Tune 180 etc...) will have more trouble making it work. Some will be able to and others won't.
