Look 795 Blade
Moderator: robbosmans
It's getting built! Still need to figure out some di2 wiring and cut the steerer.
Is there supposed to be some kind of di2 battery holder? There were only two o-rings with my frameset. I just put the battery inside the seattube (with those o-rings) and fastened it with a zip-tie. Seems to work
And yes, there was a Garmin holder inside the package. Somehow I managed to miss it

That is the factory way to mount the di2 battery. If it isn't moving or making noise then it'll be okPew wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 6:08 pmIt's getting built! Still need to figure out some di2 wiring and cut the steerer.

Guys, I want to have your opinion here. Couple months ago, I bought a used 795 Blade RS here in Germany. Probably I was not that careful inspecting the bike (also didn't bring it to a bike shop to have a deep look). It has a SRAM Red crank with Quarq DZero Dub PM and an Absolute Black Oval chainrings.
I just realized that something doesn't look great in my BB-crank integration. For me, it looks like there is a piece missing in the BB-crank section because the free space in between is just too small. So even if I got something like a small rock in that place it'll badly damage the frame.
I want to show you some pics because it looks to me that the chainring/PM is rubbing the frame and I'm a little concerned if it's damaging the carbon in the frame or only the paint. Also if it looks like not right, if it's the point to talk to the seller and try to arrange something for this.
P.S.: don't mind the frame damage due to a chain drop that I didn't notice.

Could you please upload some photos? Yes, the crank no spins freely, I already put 700km on it. My concern is that you can see the white paint on the outside of the smaller chainring. Did you notice that?
I have no experience with SRAM but it sure looks tight..... Did you look online for exploded diagrams of the crank build up? On myDale for example there are very nice diagrams which tell you how many spacers should go in etc.
Have not checked my Blade with Campagnolo BTW. So I even don't know but maybe it is just as tight. I will have a look when I get home.

Ride bikes, not tanks!
Also interested to know because I have the same issue with this. I don't get enough clearance to use a right side power meter as it catchs and rub.iankovski wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 12:50 pmGuys, I want to have your opinion here.

Suspect it is 386EVO compatibility issue
I just checked the SRAM manual, will share it later here. Which website is this, could you share it here?Leon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:52 amI have no experience with SRAM but it sure looks tight.....

Probably it's if you don't use spacers enough. But the BB for the 795 is only 386, right?

I had the pioneer dura ace power meter, shimano cranks don't have spacers. I tried adding spacer (1.5mm iirc before it let me spin freely) but then I can't shift the front derailleur (limit screw already removed )iankovski wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:59 pmI just checked the SRAM manual, will share it later here.
