Changing from 1st to 12th

We can't be too far away from the bike changing gears when you think about it. Just needs a Di3 insert surgically implanted behind your ear

The gear drop between rings (as a percentage) will be roughly equivalent to a number of rear sprocket shifts. On my bikes it is carefully arranged to be almost exactly equal to 3 rear shifts. The technique in changing down is to first drop down one ring leading to an immediate rise in cadence, and then almost immediately shift up two gears at the back. The brief spinning of the pedals in mid shift is not a problem. The more difficult shift is the other way. Then the first shift for me is down 3 at the back again leading to a large increase in cadence, followed by immediately by the shift up on the chainrings. The high cadence and thus low chain tension at the time greatly aids this sometimes awkward shift. You may notice that this second sequence leaves me in the same gear as I started. This is useful if any momentum is lost in the change. A single shift up one at the rear restores matters.

Mind control of shifting is already with us!

I thought we had that already...........I have my Di2 programmed to drop three or up skirt three automatically when I go from large ring to small ring.

Careful now, I think they made that illegal.
