Nismosr,

I hate to drag this conversation on but I just purchased a 2013 Look 695 Team Color today (very excited). I also purchased Campagnolo Super Record V2. I was very hesitant to purchase V2 because many people had told me that the battery would not fit in the seat tube. Clearly, you did it so I went ahead and ordered V2.

My LBS will do the install for me. Any suggestions with regard to the battery install? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Rd3100,

The V2 battery will fit perfectly inside the seat tube of the 695, if your LBS will be doing the install i'm
Pretty sure they have all the tools needed. I made my own just to
Save a few dollars. If you notice on some
Of the pictures there only 2 holes inside the BB to the down tube and into the DS chainstay.
From the seat tube down all wires leads to the front of the BB towards the down tube. Are you from the US?

Last question (I hope). Did you have to drill those 2 holes in the BB? My crank is on right now and I have not had time to pull them before I take my frame to my LBS and check for the holes. I saw a few videos of people drilling some holes in the BB, which scares me (warranty and other safety issues).

Thanks for sharing.

Nope those holes are in there already, never drilled any on the frame. there's a hole under the front of the bb where it says BB65 that's where I put the charging port.

Can't wait to see this finished but that junction box just doesn't look right. Maybe try something like this on the rear brake cable?

If you go the cable mount option heat shrink is much cleaner than spiral wrap IMO.

One of the more fantastic looking Look color schemes :) keen to see the finished product.

Very nice. As much as I like Norge, makes me wonder what is wrong with that wonderful C59 that you would want a Look! :lol:

Chris,
Totally Nothing wrong with the C59, its just one those itch that you wanted something different to build. And its hard not to pass up on the price of the new 695. I used to own a 586 and 595 too.

Why are you using tape here, far from perfect solution?
There are special guides-screws, for electric cable that is going back to rear derailleur like this:
