Possible to swap my Ultegra or XTR groupset over?
Gear shifting was a little surprising during brief testing. My ultegra still shift like butter but bit noisy and was not crisp shift. Probably I will do one more turn up by myself. I still have 3x 9 speed XT/XTR mountain bike and it also shift like butter…
Also my folding ebike has Alivio 7 speed. GRX is better but not XT/ultegra quality. Maybe GRX 800 might be better or sram…. But it's ebike so I think I can live with it… someone said before I prefer narrow dropbar even 38mm…. I should stop thinking of habit of improvement hahahaha.

Not everyone can appreciate the different between105 vs Ultegra vs DuraAce, mostly pple go higher for weight saving, which has little impact % to a 46lbs bike. My wife rides 20lbs road and MTB, hope she can manage something that weight twice as much
To do:
1, the rear der needs a little tuning
2, the chain lube is a heavy oil. Brake cleaner, then wax lube to change
3, another set of rims with road tires to see what that does. Some work since the rear hub speed magnet setup needs to be xferred/2nd bought (else assist won't work), potentially with a little grinding on the new wheel's center lock rotor ring.
I did not have any plan to upgrade anything but well…….
I will replace saddle, stock pedal, clean chain and lube the chain then probably doing derailleur adjustment.
I can feel the weight but when I go downhill much more stable feeling from heavy weight though haha. At least I can climb decent uphill without motor assistance so it's not bad thing.
BTW, when I got my road bike about 7 years ago, 105 was not that refined yet but last a few years, 105 is as good as ultegra/dura ace minus weight so I always thought if I get new bike, I will go with 105 instead of ultegra or dura-ace. I already step-into ebike world so weight of bike and fancy components are not necessary and I don't race with this bike hahaha.
I read that there isn't walk assist mode, is it necessary for a mid drive motor?
I ordered mid-day Thursday on the Yamaha site and got my shipping email tonight as well 🥳

The Ultegra rear derailleur won't accommodate the 11-42 cassette. XTR is not drop bar. I'd wait for GRX Di2 12sp 1x which Shimano has not even announced yet. Routing the di2 wiring into a non-dropper seatpost would be challenging. I haven't looked into SRAM options.
go to Velofix.com and see if this company is in your area. they do free delivery+no tax when purchasing a bicycle through them. luckily their mobile service is near where i live so bought the moro 07 without paying taxes + free shipping/assembly. Along with that they provide you with free service for a limited time so double the coverage along with what yamaha is offering.

I hope to see the benefits of the clutch on the GRX RD.

I am sooo jealous you guys are getting your orders shipped in a few days and it's been 8 days for me hearing nothing!
I would like to know if I'm getting it or not so I can order a different brand of bike - Velotric Summit 1 with a superior hub motor and $100 off and free battery - I don't want to order another one now if the Yamaha shows up and is stuck with 2 bikes !
