Hi Philip,
We’re glad to hear you are loving your Parlee Altum! We will be certain that Brian gets your message. That is the correct E-TUBE Wireless Unit for your Di2 system. You will also need a 150mm E-TUBE Electric Wire to connect it inline. That Shimano part number is EW-SD50. Please reach out if we can help you with anything else – rideguides@theproscloset.com or 866-401-9636.
Please let Brian know that the bike is perfect—and I mean that literally. Sadly, on my first ride, a big rock smacked my rear derailleur. I took off both cage plates and urged them back into line, and now the Di2 works flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier. One question: It looks like I need the EW-WU111 unit and the wire to set me up for wireless tweaking from my iPad, correct?
