Just picked up a Grand Canyon with Di2 and put it together, but I am having an issue where the front mech works fine, but the rear just isn't doing anything. All plugs appear to be correctly set, but nothing fires.
Anyone have any idea of what I can try?
Thanks

Have you actually put it into adjust the rear mode? I had this before I had to put it into adjust mode before it would do absolutely anything.
I reprogrammed a mates of mine to work backwards, it was pretty funny

You mean change the mode to set it up? The little junction box up by the bars with the little LED's for the battery on it

I think it's a dodgy shifter... if I put it in test mode, holding down the button on the unit and it works it's way through the rear cog 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. but then when I try on the shifter itself I get nothing.

Good spot! Will sort when I get back.
Think I might go to white cables, was adding green to make it fit my usual colour scheme, but with the White tyres the green looks a bit out of place

Can confirm, you do definitely do want one... and won't regret it!
Mine's going beautifully, done nothing but some fork servicing and a new chain on it so far. Ran great in the snow on Sunday.
Prefer the red myself, never been a fan of the trend for all-black bikes, I prefer to have a bit of colour, if I have the choice.

Canyon are going to call me in the morning, see what the issue is on the Di2, I still think it's the shifter!
Bedding in brake pads the lazy way:
How is that bedding them in? Looks like an oven to me, possibly drying the glue that fixes the pad material to the carrier.
Maybe 'bedding in' is the wrong word.
The oven does the same job as the recommended long, gentle stops that you should do on new pads - heats them up to help cure them.
I wont have the opportunity to do this the recommended way so i'm trying the oven method.
