3T Integra Team stem and internal Di2 junction box
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi everyone,
Ive seen a couple breif articles online mentioning that the 3T Integra Team stem has a cavity inside which allows for the Di2 junction bix to be mounted inside of the stem so its out of sight. This sounds interesting and I imagin it makes for some really clean cabling around the cockpit.
Can anyone offer a photo of this install? I can,t find anything on the web or ww regarding this.
Can anyone confirm the weight of this stem with the garmin mount attached? 3T claim 235g but dont state if thats with ot without the mount.
Thanks in advance.

With the junction box inside the stem, albeit a very clean solution, you would need to deal with 3 issues:
1) how to take the STI wires inside the stem?
2) how to take the junction box wire outside the stem?
3) how to recharge the internal battery?
Question 3 could be useless if you use a external battery, but if you are considering hiding the junction box, I assume that the battery MUST already be hidden...

Not sure how current these images are as 3T's english product page only shows the top cover but from the images below, it seems like mounting the junction inside is relatively simple as the cover on the underside is also removable which would allow easy access when its time to charge the batter.

Thanks for the responses guys.
From the looks of it the di2 cables from the hoods would fit through two round holes and the cable that heads into the frame could exit through the rectangular hole further back. But im still a bit sceptical as to wheather or not the junction box with plugs sticking out the front would actually fit inside or not.
The brief bike radar review linked below says clearly that it does but the road.cc review also linked below says it allows the box to be mounted on the underside....not inside...am I interpreting this incorrectly?
Can anyone with Di2 and the integra team stem confirm if the junction box actualy fits inside the stem?

Pretty sure the LTD does not as it's all carbon so no recess inside. (Team is aluminium).
