Almost.
Jeff has Di2. The Di2 SS derailleur maxes out at 28T and GS is 32T. That's one of my hold ups I'm waiting for the MTB Di2 to come down in price then I can have a Hill Climbing Cassette and derailleur.
The other option is to mode the cage; I've been watching for someone to pair a 40T kit with a Cage arm as a bundle.

Oh! That defiantly would take Di2 out of the picture for me. Maybe by next year this stuff will me more readily available in the MTB arena??

The current Ultegra Di2 setup is fine for around where I live, but when I hit hills it is limit for me. The XTR Di2 can handle triple chain rings and up to 11-40 cassettes. A question for some will be the shifters. The XTR Di2 can handle 2-speed Di2 road shifters but for 3-speed one will have to use Di2 MB shifters.

I for one and hoping just to see the pairing of the XTR Rear Derailuer with the Ultegra front.

After procrastinating all April I finally hit the road/bike path today. The bike feels so familiar, it's like I haven't been off of it for five months, except for the burning in my legs reminding me that I am now completely out of shape.
It would be nice to keep enjoying the bike as-is, but this season I'm planning to try out 28mm tires (up from 25mm, it looks like there is plenty of clearance) and 165mm cranks (down from 172.5mm). Terminal case of tinkeritis here.

I am usually the one shooting the photos but today Mrs Ratz was playing with high speed photo mode with the SLR and we got a few photo sequences from my training ride today from the trail and from the chase car. (Note it's creepy when the chase car is electric because you really don't hear that thing beside you at all).

The rear bottle/bag arrangement looks more Aero with the rider on the bike than I expected!

This is the piece of plastic - not sure what type, but I simply cut the piece out from an irrigation box from Home Depot. I used heat over my stove to make the curve. And then Velcro'd it the sock seat to form an extension of the existing seat to get the bag to fit. As if the seat was your standard hardshell in which the bag was intended.
like this one?
