2020 Canondale Synapse Ultegra Di2

What does this bike come with? Just a charger and a wheel sensor?
I just got one at the LBS and all they gave me was a charger no manual, no paperwork and no wheel sensor, I had to call and ask about the sensor.

Naturally I am curious now, if there's anything else missing.

The sensor is a speed sensor that can connect to the Cannondale Connectivity app on a smartphone. It records data. The sensor can also be used with any head unit that connects via Ant+ or BLE, such as a Garmin or Wahoo. The Cannondale website states the Synapse Di2 comes equipped with the wheel sensor.

Note that the Connectivity doesn’t connect to Di2 as far as I’m reading.

You should also be getting a Shimano Di2 charger.

It's not Linux you don't need to RTFM. But if you need some help, check on the Cannondale website for manuals and other info. https://cannondale.zendesk.com/hc/en-us.

Info about your di2 can be found here: https://bettershifting.com/
not so crazy about the site layout, but the info is pretty good.

Or if you want to really get technical about your di2 and other shimano components on your bike, go to Shimano's document site: https://si.shimano.com/#/

Saves a lot of paper not giving you a manual that most will never look at.

Agreed. Most brands at least give you some url to go to. Anyways I was hoping there was no more missing hardware.

I'm definitely open to suggestions on layout ;-). Now that the site finally moved (from di2center.com) to bettershifting.com I can focus on things like these

You could ask the dealer for the disc brake pad spacers. Not essential but they do add a little protection when the wheels are off the bike.

Looks like they also replaced the fulcrum wheel set with a wtb st i19 one. Naturally the wheel sensor does not fit the wheels using the same adapter. Not sure what to tell them, but I certainly would like to have known before I bought the bike

Your site has been real helpful to give me some insights to make adjustments that seem to make full syncro work better on the di2 equipped bike I just got. As well, it answered a lot of questions I had since..... as the OP found out, you don't get a lot of literature on things you buy anymore.

I was going to reply in a private message and tell you the specifics. But I went to your site and tried something that has given me issues on this site too. So maybe publicly giving this will help others too. If you have other questions about it, feel free to PM me.

I widened my browser window just a tad to be more than half the width of my 24" monitor.

So now, I really don't have an issue. With my browser open to slightly less than half, the menu items only show as the three or four horizontal bars in the top right corner. And the picture graphics that are also clickable buttons show up as full browser width taking up about a third of the vertical. So only three options show on the home page that don't really look like clickable buttons. And of course it might not be noticed that there are options below and to scroll down.

I know most of that is probably in the default behavior of the web page coding and maybe browser specific. I normally use Chrome. Also, I've wondered if it might be that these might be behavior changes to deal with those on a phone as opposed to a device with bigger screen. And if I had been browsing on my phone I can see where that format might work better.

As for how browser width affects this forum, sometimes depending on thread title, I wouldn't get the fly out navigation links at the top when I initially scroll back up after reading a thread. I was about to write support about that when it dawned on me that it was due to all the different headers and pieces parts fighting for real-estate up there. So now when I get that I know to yank my browser a little wider, or just go to the bottom where there is a back to sub-forum arrow.
