Get a Di2 plug set, cheaper, easier to find, they all do the same thing.


Thanks, I'll do search for those. I didn't know Shimano had that. I assume they'll work with Campy's holes?

@Bourquek, just so happen I'm need of the same thing, plugs for my un-use Di2/EPS holes, and I don't have plugs. These are harder to find at smaller LBS, and these plugs can be very frame specific. I was at Colorado for business and went to the physical store of a big online retailer. They let me raid their goody bag :) :) :). They collected these unused frame parts over the years from various builds. Since they are not in their inventory officially, they were going to give it to me for free. Being such a happy customer I asked them to charge me a least a little bit. $10 USD for these random plugs isn't so bad.

Obviously I took a lot more plugs than I need (I only need 2, but not sure which ones yet), so let me know if you have no luck with your LBS.

@Birdman, Wow! Thanks, I've never seen what they look like. I just found some for sale on Universal Cycles website. Do you know if the Di2 holes are the same as the EPS holes?

Those are NOT for plugging empty holes on your bike frame. Those are dummy plugs that plugs/seals the unused ports on the Di2 shifters and junction box.

Good find! Yeah I didn't see those in the LBS goody bag, I did see those (at least similar) on some of their bikes though.

Thanks. I was thinking Campagnolo should include a solution like this with the purchase of their version 3 battery. It only makes sense since we had to drill holes into our frames in the first place. Also, is the battery port holes the same size as a Di2 one? If not, then this plug may not fit tight enough.

Does anyone know how the V3 power pack is mounted? Is it like the V2 where the unit has holes and mounts behind the bottle cage bosses? The photos I've seen don't seem to have holes -- I'm hoping that a separate mounting bracket will not be required.

I think it will just be like the Di2 battery - you just wrap it in some bubble wrap or foam and stick it in a tube.

Funnily, just like many other manufacturers, Campagnolo have a website. And, just like those manufacturers, lo and behold there are tech docs aplenty.
