Hence the reason I helped develop the C-Bear unit with sleeve... No way would I risk running a BB without sleeve with Di2 wires. Brake hose is fine since can be tucked up and out the way.
How can I buy a C-Bear in the USA? and does the BSA30 version come with this sleeve? Thinking I might just return this one for something else..

I'm curious about this as well, which is why I never considered them.

That being said, sure it's more money, but CeramicSpeed makes a BSA30 with a sleev and is easily accessible for those in the USA.

I would get a C-Bear, but it looks like my only option would be a CeramicSpeed (higher end BB).

I emailed them directly from their site and they said they can ship worldwide for $20! Looks like I might be returning my BBinfinite.

No, talking about C-Bear. I would contact ceramic speed and tell them you want a sleeve, or go my route and email C-Bear and order through them

I've ordered direct from cbear on-line more than once, and the response has been excellent.

Have to turn to the gurus of the board as I am a bit lost sizing wise for sl7

Have done 2 bike fits plus another one from the old bike and still cannot figure out if it is 54 or 56.

173 cm , inseam 84, pretty flexible.

Fit 1. 621 handlebar stack, 484 reach, 172.5, height 741, 35 stack, 100 stem

Fit 2 631, 477, 172.5, 765, 25, 100

With the old r5 beinf 54 frame 636, 473, 172.5, 772, 35 stack and 110 stem.

So given all this numbers is it a 54 or a 56. One fitter is adamant it can only it 56, the other says 54.
54.. I'm 181 cm, 87.5cm inseam and reasonably flexible, riding a 54.

Clearly we're all different shapes and sizes, but based on your musurments I'm suprised a 56 is even in the frame.

Hey - just took delivery of my Tarmac SL7 Expert, but I cannot for the life of me get the top cap to sit properly. Is a bit of a gap normal (picture attached). I can see the cable so worried that during washing water will be able to enter the frame...

I would disagree, mine all look much closer than that.
