Only 120km riding so far with 25mm Corsa Speeds and nothing bad to report. Seems comfortable, rolling and grip is good.

With the factory full-bike build of the S-Works SL6 Disc, am I supposed to be able to connect to the Di2 via bluetooth, using the E-Tube Project app? When pressing the button on the Di2 Junction A, I am not getting the alternating green and red lights, as the manual indicates. Do I need to get the EW-WU111 wireless transmitter unit to achieve this BT connection..?

Yes you need the EW-WU111.

Thanks, sychen. Another one, are your crank spindles open/not closed in the each ends, so that you can actually see through the actual spindle/axle from one side to the other..? On my previous bikes there were caps covering the inner area of this spindle..

Apologies for the basic questions, learning..

Mine is a Sworks power crankset.. No cannot see through the other side.

I'm assuming you mean through the bb right?

It's mostly empty except for the drive side have a nut/cap.

The crank axle is hollow in all modern cranks. If it does not contain electronics for a power meter or something similar and it doesn't need an adjustment cap for sideways play at one end, it can be left open in the ends. And is left open in most BB30, GXP, MegaExo etc. cranks.

Thanks, guys. I am aware that it is hollow, but not used to it not being capped in the ends and that you can literally see through the spindle/bottom bracket one side to the other. I'm questioning if there are one or two end caps missing on my build. Photos for clarity:

It's the same on your factory builds?

Full bike for reference:

Just picked up a 2019 Sworks Tarmac SL6 Disc. Swork/4iiii power meter failed in 3 rides. Lost connection and discovered gold tabs under battery were separated from circuit board. No replacements units in stock so I have a Dura Ace 9100 with the Pioneer unit on the way. Going to mate that with the Praxxis for Spec ceramic BB. Think thats going to be a better setup anyway...

I'll post pics next week once I have the build in its final form...
