Aero Tweaks

So on the BoastAbiut Your Recent Purchases thread I’d posted my new TT bike.

Boast about your recent purchases here

Tried to get a clearer picture of how they did it. It’s got the 5 port junction just underneath the stem and then I’m just holding the wire from the shifters on the base bar. It all goes into the junction and then back out and into the frame in the port you can see. An extreme option would be to drill a port for the cable through the toptube. I’ve also seen the Tririg stem (expensive) but there must be some other options to get the wires behind the steerer rather than adding a lump out in the w…

I wanted to follow up, for the cost of the Shimano DI2cable tool I’ve tidied up the front end a little bit. Need to tape the cables down to beaten them up but it looks better now. Someone also noted that the frame top cap was backwards, fixed that. I also widened the pads slightly to help with comfort. Next step would be a TT bike fit once lockdown rules allow, I think I need a slightly longer stem but will wait for the fit before buying anything.

Can’t figure out how to sort the brake cables better other than shorten the housing which I think is possible

Nice placement - those cables look a whole load neater.

Not sure that towel over the saddle is going to do you any aero favours

[Jgav]

Turbo towel - at this point I’m surprised it’s not grown legs and walked off.

I’d sort out that vacuum cleaner and paint tin placement before anything else
