Is the wireless xtr derailleur compatible with GRX 825 shifters wirelessly and can you still use the front derailleur off the L shifter or does it interfere in some way with how these operate?
Nice build!

Designwise it looks halve baked. The Derailleur looks preety Junky with the Battery mounted on it also the Colour-matching Silver/black looks not like 2000 euros … Sram did there a better job.
Also i dont understand why they say: “works best with UDH-hangers” but dont use any real benfit from it like sram … maybee Sram got an licence of that?
The only thing whats good about it from tests is shifting speed .. hm

Ugly rear sus, spacers above stem, honestly a bit bland looking. Location/background doesn’t help either. I’m sure it’s a treat to ride it, though, but not a good bikeporn pic imo.
I’m interested in that fixie up there…

Dude, you guys remember like three years ago when Shimano patented electronic/wireless brakes?
Well, when we got the launch material from Shimano via email at our shop, the administration dude was the first one to see it. He opens it up, and it says something like “Di2 brakes”. Which, *is* what the email said. It also said that the new Di2 is wireless.
So, he reads this email, and exclaims to everyone “Dude the new brakes are wireless! WTF?!?”
And *everyone* took that as fact. We spent like three hours in the shop all trying to wrap our brains around wireless electronic braking. Then, one of our Shimano sponsored riders came in to pick up his bike, who, was clearly well aware of the upcoming release, and we asked him like “Yo its crazy about these wireless brakes isn’t it!”
He laughed at us and was like, ‘Good one guys!’. So I pulled up the launch material from Shimano, and sure enough, it said Di2 brakes, but it was also listing them with the pretty standard 1000mm and 1700mm of hydraulic line.
So uh… yeah, that was kind of funny. A whole shop of mechanics all thought our brakes were going wireless.
