Considering that Anna is not on a cycling team, she must have bought the bike and the Farsport bars herself. Quite an endorsement! Wonder if Scott will spring for a gold bike for her.

any one have this installed on current (2021) Trek Emonda SL?
Also wondering about this. I know there's an adapter for Emonda 2021, but I want to see if it looks good when installed on an Emonda because the F1 stem looks way bigger than the Bontrager RSL.

Isn't that just her course notes taped to the stem? The white stripe doesn't wrap over the front of the bar as it does on the F1

correction: you can zoom in and see the farsports logo on the garmin mount

Not that I am aware on the carbon part. The sleeves for 1 1/8 have been fragile (replaced for free in my case) and not consistant in size: the shoulder was too thin and then the stem not sitting flat on the bearing cover

I noticed they appear to made from plastic/nylon/abs? Can't I just pick up a generic alloy one?

How is the comfert on these? The sqaure edge looks like it would suck if you hold your hands in the middle of the bars?

Being made out of polymer is not a problem it’s more on the dimensions of some of their sleeves (seems 3d printed)
You can’t use a generic aluminium one since it needs to match the length of the clamping area.

That’s very subjective and (to me) a lot more related to the geometry. A combo imposes certains angles (I would prefer having the drops with a bit less angles; I could using the +2deg sleeve instead of the -2 position…. But then my stack it too high)

SuperSix Evo my2020 and my2021.

Can someone advise what do i need to make top section of cockpit flat, without any spacer on top of it?
The cannondale stock stem cap is not as wide as cockpit, so i think some of you guys used some wider stem cap?

Thank you.

So is this good to use on a full mechanical rim setup with standard external (frame) cable routing?

I cut the steerer tube just on cockpit level, and using 2mm spacer on top of it which is barely visilble, and i am happy with that, no need to change plug.
