Di2 Connectors......
Discussion
Evening all - i'm adding some remote shifters to my brakes on my TT bike - I need some connectors so I can break the cable if I need to take it apart at some point - inline 2 cable, small as possible - any suggestions? They'll be buried inside the basebar / stem so don't need to be super waterproof but some resistance would be good.
I'm sure i read on here (or maybe not here) someone had identified the particular connector shimano use - i quite like the positive click - and the fact they seem to be pretty waterproof.

No - I have one of those.
I have hydraulic brakes so I cant use the Shimano TT brake levers with the integrated Di2 buttons.
I have some waterproof buttons that will stick on the outside of the Magura brake lever assembly I have, i have also cannibalised the internals of a sprinter switch to give me the electronics to talk to the Di2 - I need to run a cable from the sprinter switch electronics in the stem to the buttons out on the brake levers - its this cable I want to be able to break.

Not that expensive and you could get 2 connectors out of one wire if bought this way?
When I say not that expensive, I am meaning compared to what some of us spend annually on our hobby.

Common problem. They'll probably be magura RT-8 (I think) hydro rim brakes, as fitted to many cervelos..
No idea about the cannibalising process for the switches / buttons, there's a whole thread about di2 hacks on slowtwitch I believe; nor do I know how you're going to get a 'di2' plug on the end of the wire, but essentially I think you need to do that.
In terms of the plug end, all the 'wire' plugs are the same, and they plug into junction boxes. So you either run the new buttons back to a 5 port box, or you use the 4 port downtube connectors to join them.
No STI's, it's a TT setup, bar end shifters (and adding bullhorn shifters, but can't use the shimano ones due to aforementioned hydro brakes)
