Title: Electronic shifters on a trike??
Post by Ldoc1234 on Sep 19th, 2015, 10:32pm

I have a triple chain ring on the front 52 39 30 and a 11/36 cassette on the back. Is it possible to put electronic shifters on this trike and still keep the same or similar gear ratios?   How about shimano XTR?

DI2s can be made to work for that combo ..    You'll need to change to a K-Edge long cage (or similar)  designed to let you use Di2s on a mountain bike.     The mounting may be more of an issue than the programming.  I don't know if there's room for the extra "package" or not.
