Don Sol Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Frustrated... good choice of word for a public forum. Well ive bought the groupset. I have received basically 1 item a month since September. Its Nearly Feb and still no cranks. All the punt but no supply. Crazy. However the OEMs have all ratios and all crank lengths. The original forecast was that the Di2 was to hit the shelves Jan. Feel sorry for anyone waiting, maybe October. Speed it up Shimano.
Terminator Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Release date for the Di2 XTR in SA was Feb and I've been accumulating my groupset as it's been coming in. Last item (battery) should be here in a day or 2. So ultimately the Feb release date has been met. Difficulty may come in the stock levels as they'll get sold out pretty quick.

You must have mates at coolheat. Hows about organising a couple cranks send to Durban. Ive had an order in since sept. ive got the lot but a crank.
GoLefty!! Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Have a Dura ace order in since December. They don't know when they will be able to fulfill the order completely

Will prob build over on Monday for a Tuesday test - I hope Don Sol it helps being a dealer so I see when the stocks come in.

_David_ Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 As a matter of interest what does the groupset retail for?
Terminator Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 As a matter of interest what does the groupset retail for? I haven't actually added it all together yet - will do so when I've completed assembly with all wires etc. But it's not cheap by any means.......
Bundledog Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I costed it at about R38KI wonder what my kidney will retail for...
Don Sol Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 The mechanical set is 17k I think. what swayed my choice from xx1 etc. Is replacement costs. Derailer, casette etc. Xx1 casette is R4800 XTR 9000 is R2900. Rear der. 5000 vs 2800. And as we know a rear derailer is quiet exposed. XTR is a touch lighter than xx1 I think.
Skylark Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice to see XTR is a "bargain" price compared to SRAMs top flight stuff, wonder why that is?
Terminator Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I costed it at about R38K Pretty spot on that! Full retail is R37.5k incl all wiring, BB, and Ant+ transmitter.
Monark Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Will XTR match the 42 tooth cassette of the xx1?
DJuice Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Can you use Race Face crank with rest of setup xtr, thinking will the xtr chain work?
