I'm building up a bike with an Ultegra Di2 / Hydraulic groupset. Got to the point of installing the hydraulic hose to the shifters. Hmm, manual says use an M9 flanged connector. Brake hose kit contains two straight connectors. Which are M8. And don't work (natch).

Bugger.

Get googling - and no-one seems to have any in stock at all. So I've ordered a couple off eBay.... on 3-6 weeks delivery from Taiwan :evil: (Bike24.de had them listed, at €4 each, but 7 weeks delivery)

It's item 1 on here... https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-BR-R8070-4255.pdf

Or item 9 on here... https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-ST-R8070-4248B.pdf

Anyone got any hanging about? <forlorn shrug>

    Can’t help with spares, but according to that diagram the ones supplied are for TT shifters (STR 9180). Could you not get back on to the retailer who sold you the shifters as it would appear they have supplied the wrong connectors?

    typical, no flange available when you need it
