Hi,
I have a Cervelo P-Series that came with a mechanical Drivechain and cable disc brakes.
Over the last few months I have been acquiring various items to convert my bike to Ultegra Di2.
I have the following Di2 components installed this week.
RD-R8050 Rear Derr
RD-F8050 Front Derr
SW-R9160 Bar End Shifters
RS910 Bar end Junction Box (with Profile Aeroport mount)
DN110-2 Internal Battery
2x Junction Boxes
Lots of cables
Note that I only have the bar End shifters and these are a single button shifter. There are no shifters on the base bar. That is a future upgrade/modification after Christmas.
My issue is how do I change gears on the front derailleur. I thought Syncro took care of this....
I cannot stop, take out my lap top, plug in my charger/programer and change the shifter settings from Rear derr to Front derr mid ride or race so I can move from Big ring to Small ring. This is how I was changing gears on the front for setting up the system as I could not get the system to change both derailleurs.
E-Tube has my bike set to Syncro so I "assume" this would mean that upshifts will shift all the way up the gears including moving the front and rear derr as needed and the reverse for the down shifts. Based upon the below screen shot from my E-Tube that would be 14 up shifts/down shifts to move through the full range of gears in Syncro mode.
What have I missed, or have I misunderstood what Syncro is and I need additional shifters to change front chainrings.
And to complicate things further I have an event this weekend so need to sort this ASAP or I am stuck in a fixed front gear for the ride leg.... gulp
