--- title: The Team with Electronic Shifting description: The premium version of the Clydesdale line up is the Team. This one comes standard with Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting components and hydraulic disc brakes. We are big fans of electronic shifting. The quality and precision of each shift is unmatched, and you hardly ever have to make any derailleur adjustments. image: https://blog.zinn.bike/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Clydesdale-gallery-photos-JW-2-1200x800.jpg%20(1).webp --- - [clydesdale bicycles](https://www.zinn.bike/bikes/clydesdale-bicycles/) - [ZINN Custom Bikes](https://www.zinn.bike/) - [Tui Bikes](https://www.zinn.bike/bikes/tui-bikes/) - [303-499-4349](tel:303-499-4349) - [Login or Create account](https://www.bigandtallbike.com/myaccount.asp?__hstc=248507544.90448e05af5b6838a0b3ffd1e40c765f.1752502478952.1753346888326.1753362879282.6&__hssc=248507544.2.1753362879282&__hsfp=945770823) - [View Cart](https://www.bigandtallbike.com/message.asp?msg=49&__hstc=248507544.90448e05af5b6838a0b3ffd1e40c765f.1752502478952.1753346888326.1753362879282.6&__hssc=248507544.2.1753362879282&__hsfp=945770823) [![Zinn logo white](https://blog.zinn.bike/hs-fs/hubfs/Zinn%20logo%20white.png?width=196&height=72&name=Zinn%20logo%20white.png)](https://www.zinn.bike/) [![Zinn logo 200px wide for checkout page](https://blog.zinn.bike/hs-fs/hubfs/Zinn%20logo%20200px%20wide%20for%20checkout%20page.png?width=196&height=72&name=Zinn%20logo%20200px%20wide%20for%20checkout%20page.png "Zinn logo 200px wide for checkout page")](https://blog.zinn.bike/) - [Home](https://www.zinn.bike/) - [Contact Us](https://zinncycles.com/contact/) Open main navigation Close main navigation - [Home](https://www.zinn.bike/) - [Contact Us](https://zinncycles.com/contact/) # The Team with Electronic Shifting TECHNICAL GUIDE # The Team with Electronic Shifting 1 min read May 08, 2018 Ivan Predojev [Blog Page](https://blog.zinn.bike/tag/blog-page) May 8, 2018, 1:00:00 AM [Ivan Predojev](https://blog.zinn.bike/author/ivan-predojev) Share: [facebook-f icon](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.zinn.bike/the-team-with-electronic-shifting) [linkedin-in icon](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.zinn.bike/the-team-with-electronic-shifting) [Twitter icon](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.zinn.bike/the-team-with-electronic-shifting) [pinterest-p icon](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=https://blog.zinn.bike/the-team-with-electronic-shifting) [envelope icon](mailto:?body=https://blog.zinn.bike/the-team-with-electronic-shifting) The premium version of the Clydesdale line up is the [Team](https://bikeclydesdale.com/team/).

We are big fans of electronic shifting. The quality and precision of each shift is unmatched, and you hardly ever have to make any derailleur adjustments. You can also program the way your shifters shift. There are lots of options for different ways of shifting. Everyone asks, what if the battery dies? Well, they last a really long time, so if it dies, it’s because you forgot to charge it many times. If it does die, Shimano has a good failsafe designed into the system. The front derailleur will stop working first, so you still have many more miles to get home using just the rear derailleur. If you are on a long cross country trip, you’ll want to charge it at hotels. If you aren’t staying at hotels, then you can get a solar powered USB charger. All in all, Shimano Di2 is a really great system. Once you try it, it will be hard to go back to mechanical shifters.
