A big battery on your bike.... bluuuugh

''Hey, are you comming today with us for a bike ride?" "No, i cannot, i'm charging my battery"'

They say you can get more than 2000km's between charges. If you are simply to lazy to check you battery the night before a ride, well then, that's you own problem. I have had no issues, and if its good enough for the pro's, I'm definitely not going to say no to using it.

The battery being external on mine is a downside, however this is not a Di2 specific frame, and that's the reason for that battery, I would love an internal battery, but honestly I don't believe that it detracts from the overall look of the bike.

That's just my 2c...

They say so indeed, try it ;-) The test bike i used for a while lasted maybe 1100km. I have to admit that was in races, so lot's of gear changing. Beside, i don't always know the night before if i'm going to ride the day after so then i have to charge it every evening.
I guess i'm just more a fan of mechanical. I prefer campagnolo over shimano, because i love how campagnolo is more "rough" then shimano.
The sounds, the way it feels.

Hehe, i hope you think about this different in case of doping ;-)..... ''if it's good enough for the pro's, i'm definitely not going to say no to using it'' ;-)

As a pure Roadie, having worked in South Africa's top MTB shop for the last 2 years, I can safely say that, that is a SWEEEEEET ride!

Do you have the planet x carbon bike? In holland there were some problems with that bike, they were breaking at the
bracketpot. Also mine did. I'm not sure if you are specializing in track sprinting, because then i would take extra care!

Hi Yes it's a carbon planet x, couple of guys riding them here and no problems so far.

 

[Jummeltje]

good to hear! Hopefully they improved the frames. I had mine in 2009.
