Highly recommended with DI2

GT1977 over 4 years ago

Not really a question but wanted to pass on some feedback for those of you wondering whether the 830 is right for you. I picked one up today from my local bike shop. My setup is the 830 connected to an iPhone, Garmin HRM (the dual ANT+/BLE one), Bontrager DuoTrap speed/cadence sensor and also latest Ultegra DI2 with the D-Fly wireless adapter. Have to say it was a breeze connecting it all up and the most impressive aspect for me is the integration between the 830 and the DI2 shift levers. The extra button on each of the brake lever hoods can be programmed to activate functions on the 830. I use a single press on either lever to switch between activity screens, hold the button on the right lever to start/stop an activity, hold the left lever button to activate the map page. Finally i use a double tap on the right lever to start/stop a ‘lap’ and I haven’t decided what to use the double tap on the left lever for yet (there are so many functions).

Anyway, highly recommended for anyone with DI2 who doesn’t want the huge 1030. The responsiveness of the screen is amazing and I’ve had no connectivity issues with my sensors or iPhone.

Isn't the same true for the 530 as well? :)

Yes the 520, 520+, 530, 820, 830, 1000 and 1030 all support this.

How do you get those other functions? The holding down and the double tap, etc? I can only get the right lever to make it go to the next screen and the left lever to make it go back one screen. Nothing else works. And this is a big problem on my 1000 because the two buttons on the unit itself no longer work.

Yep, and some older models. Just sharing my experience. I’ve got a Trek Madone with the fat aero handlebar so some of the buttons on my previous 520 were hard to press with the integrated mount.

in the Garmin unit, go into sensors, select DI2, select Sensor Details, select “DI2 Button Setup, select the shifter you want to change and you should see three options (single, press and hold, and double press). That is how it works on the 830 anyway. Perhaps google or search YouTube if your 1000 operates differently. What you are experiencing is the standard out of the box config where all three options do the same thing.

OK, thanks for the information. Ill try it.

I tried using it for light control, but you can only turn the whole network on or off. Ideally it would be great to have a button for front light intensity and rear light mode. That would be EPIC.

I agree with you!

My setting is as follows:
Left switch
- one tap: lap button
- hold: lap button
Right switch
- one tap: next screen
- hold: previous screen
