Anyone know if they fit in the two DI2 external battery bosses on the downtube?

They do but you need to get creative with a stanley knife. The bosses are shallower that a bottle cage mount. I've now siliconed the Tidds into place on mike as they kept falling out when washing.

Hmmm...thanks. For what they are, seems an expensice solution- especially seeing as they have to be scupltured and "glued", in.

I tried cutting them down too but they don't stay in place for long. I used some of the tiny screws that hold shimano brake pads in place instead

Good tip Ross, just replaced my Tidds with 2 limit screws from a Sram mech and its a perfect fit, actually screws in so much more secure.
