All these time, I thought that crash recovery mode is some intelligent, software-based fail safe with a lil bit of black-magic on top of it by Shimano.. turns out, it's much more simpler than that.. I thought I'm a decent bike mechanic, used to work in LBS before.. turns out I'm a dummy as well.. thanks for the insight, learn everyday 😅👍

Just wanted to thank you very much for this vid! I was able to not only know what happened, but also fix my co-worker's Ultegra Di2 derailleur. He had hit a sizeable pothole and it threw it out of wack (surprisingly the two race crashes and getting hit by a car before that didn't throw it into crash mode).

I first came across your channel in 2018 while looking for information about installing Di2. More helpful than the Shimano instructions! Been coming back ever since for your quirky sense of humour, and your incredible video-making skills. Twice had to ride in crash-mode. Both times after stopping for a coffee at a friends house after a ride. No bumps or rough handling of the bike, just slipped into safe mode. Gremlins or fairies for sure. I knew about crash-mode but couldn’t remember how to disengage it. I guess I stumbled across it just by trying to shift through the gears.

Outstanding! now I understand..... Last year on a multi day ride with friends I got stuck in the hardest gear after a refuelling stop. After much trying to get the crash mode reset to work, I rode to the nearest "Di2 Specialist" who were very kind, but unable to fix it. 6o bonus km later I caught up with the 'Team'; grabbed a 'support' car and drove a 200km round trip to home to collect my other n+1 steed. Got back around midnight just in time for last drinks. Back home after the Tour, I decided to remove the offending derailleur. When I bumped it it made a loud click and has worked flawlessly since! With the help of your profound technical knowledge, next time I'll just pack a hammer.😅

Works pretty well, until I put the clutch on one day, and the extra tension caused the derailleur to enter crash mode 😆 Turn off the clutch and it works fine again for thousands of km

I’m definitely not the right person to ask for “training” advice hehe. I only ride for fun, and to have fun I prefer not suffering on climbs but rather enjoy them with a decent pace, so I try and keep consistent with my riding, aiming for 10h/week. I do some intervals from time to time when I feel like it, which is very rare. But I definitely try to get a ride or two in during the weekdays.

So glad I watched this just two days before the British National Gravel champs as I hit a huge hole during the race and the rear mech stopped working in the 11t sprocket. However, it took me about 10mins to get it working again as pressing the shift button wasn’t doing anything that I could see. It came back but I was wondering if I was changing in the wrong direction? In my frustration I was probably trying to shift up the cassette (as I was stuck in the 11) when if I had actually tried to shift down multiple times it would have only taken a few seconds to start working again? Is there a direction you should be shifting to re engage the mech? I won the M50 race by persevering with the shifter after this video - so thanks!! 👏👏👏

Is it electronic? What is the benefit, you fresh and it doesn't keep shifting? I'm going to go look this up in a phone book. So the manual part is you move it with your hand to a better gear for getting home if the battery is dead? I still fear Di2 like it's Skynet, I guess.

I’m pretty sure those are not compatible… like really, really, pretty sure but I can’t swear to it in court. You’re going to have to either go full Ultegra or full SRAM. I upgraded to Ultegra Di2 a year ago and have been very happy with it. I’ve only had my battery die on me once, lol. With SRAM, you have to charge the batteries more frequently but I can’t really see that as a major detractor. Electronic shifting is great; go for it!

@@hansschotterradler3772 I just did a quick google search and to my surprise, it looks like they are more compatible than I thought.

I had also wondered if chain width was different (no specific reason why, it just occurred to me as a possibility) but I'm seeing articles saying their chains are compatible. You obviously have to match 11-speed to 11-speed or 12-speed to 12-speed, etc. but you may be able to use those Ultegra cassettes and chains after all.
