In recent years, electronic shifting from both Campagnolo and Shimano has become synonymous with the highest end racing bikes. Providing riders with incredible precise, fast and efficient shifting, it’s no wonder that electronic groupsets have become so popular.

Electronic shifting offers a number of advantages over mechanical derailleur systems, but while the fast shifting, precise selection and auto-trimming are huge benefits for people looking to put themselves ahead of the competition, there are some downsides, one of them being the internal firmware, and the lack of home maintenance and customization. However, Kinoko cycles is now offering diagnostics, updates and upgrades so you can decide exactly how you want your top tier groupset to function.

 

 

Diagnostics will check to see if there is any issues with your groupset and give us the information we need to fix it; firmware upgrades make sure you’ve got the latest updates from Shimano or Campagnolo themselves. We’ve heard a number of stories of people attempting updates at home and turning their expensive groupsets into worthless hunks of plastic and metal. Don’t risk bricking your bike, bring it down to us and we’ll update your firmware and make any changes you would like, while you wait, for just £25! We are also including firmware updates in our Deluxe and Supreme bike servicing packages, where appropriate. That’s a small price to pay for faster shifting and total peace of mind.

We’re also happy to modify your Di2 system, completely changing how your groupset operates. You can implement multi-shifting across the whole cassette, speed up or slow down the speed of your shifting and even alter the button functions or add new ones, such as sprinters switches. It’s the only way to totally customize the way your Di2 works.

Please call us on to book your appointment and improve your electronic shifting.
