Di2 Dura ace groupset

[Katana]

Guys I have recently bought a 2nd hand TREK Madone which is equipped with electronic Dura ace groupset. All my other bikes have mechanical groupset so it’s a new territory for me. Just wanted your feedback on how to get the best out of it. Also what precautions required around battery longevity and general maintenance. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated as always. Cheers

P.S: Any views on TREK Madone SLR 9. I must admit one the reasons for buying it was the looks😂 I know in terms of category it’s a aerobike but as per reviews it’s a good all rounder!

Download the Shimano e tube app this will allow you to do any adjusting that may be required but Di2 is normally plug and play and requires little maintenance. If you ran a gps head unit these can sync with the Di2 to give you battery level and display which gear your in

I have had the Di2 9150 group for about 5 years. Aside from battery charging I have not had to do anything to it in all that time in terms of maintenance. I don't bother with the app but you can do a fair few bits in fine tuning shifting sequences via e tube.

Just ride it.
It's a bike, not one of those woodworking tools that needs a UTube channel and monthly magazine for "How to get the best out of your router table." click click, pedal pedal. Off you go.

Is it 11 or 12spd?
If it's the later groupset, the shifters can be wired in, or more commonly run on CR2032 batteries, though the etube app will allow you to check the battery levels for each side.

Additionally the app will allow you to upgrade the firmware on the various parts of the system, and it's recommended that you do so.

If your shifters are wireless, frustratingly you can't update them wirelessly (!) which meant I had to buy a few little spares, an extra cable, and a connector if I recall correctly, that allowed me to disconnect the cable from the rear derailleur, and use the extra cable to connect to each of the shifters in turn to update them - bit faffy, but once you have the kit, just a regular bit of maintenance I guess.

They are not CR2032 they are CR1632, they are slightly smaller. It’s probably worth having a spare with you when you are out, because if runs out of power you can’t change gear.

It’s 11 speed as bike is 2018 model. TBH I don’t like to tinker too much just in case I screw up things😂 many thanks though 🙏🏻

Don't bother with the Shimano app, it's shite. You'll only be able to use it when you're in close proximity to the bike. It won't auto-connect and you'll have to go through the connection process every time. Shimano do decent groupsets and appalling IT.

If you have a Wahoo you can monitor shifter and di2 battery levels though this. A Wahoo will also collect any data the Shimano app collects, the big difference is the Wahoo doesn't need to be close to the bike if you want to study the data. The data is captured and held. I imagine a Garmin will do similar. If you rely on the Shimano app you will only be able to read the data when connected to the di2 system. Bizarre.

Definitely carry spare shifter batteries, I've needed one on the road and handed out two to other riders. Buy a quality brand, the cheapo web ones will let you down. On my shifters I need a small screwdriver to remove the cover, make sure you carry one.
