I was wondering if I could mount it on my Ridley Noah Fast Disc with mechanical Campagnolo 12 speed.

Cables are all inside the 4za integrated bar, I would consider to buy it only if I could hold the same setup up.

Cheers.

The exit holes for the cables on the Farsports bars are not internal but right under the stem before it meets the steerer tube (see pics) There are only 2 holes and I think you would struggle to squeeze 2 mechanical cables through each hole.

And even if you could route the 4 cables through the 2 holes you'd have to figure out how to run them into the steerer.

My understanding is that the Ridley Noah Fast system runs the cables through the stem directly into the d-shaped steerer tube/spacers and down through the headset into the fork/frame.

If this is incorrect and the cables are routed external of the stem/steerer let me know. I have not seen the Ridley Noah Fast system up close.

Hi!

Not compatible out of the box.. you will need to drill out some carbon to get the cables from the steerer tube in to the stem. Probably not recommended for safety issues. F1 has the "internal cables holes" in front of the steerer tube.. could probably send an inquiry about Farsports making the F1 stem "open" for internal cables?

@seamaster
Why would you want to exchange the 4ZA in the first place?
It is already fully internal routing. Geoemtry, weight, something different?

I contacted Farsports recently and asked if the Handlebar would work with the BMC SLR 01, last years model, fully internal cables. I was told, that so far they don't have the right adapters.
I saw on this thread that someone made the transition on a SLR02, but with external cable routing. So it seems that so far, the Farsports Handlebar, despite some rumors, doesn't work with the SLR01 or other BMC bikes with integrtated cables :(
Interested in buying Carbonsport Lightweight wheels with broken spokes.

Thanks for the replies, everything’s clear now.


@Lozaen
I was considering the F1 primary because it’s half the price of 4ZA, and also because it’s almost impossible to order through my Dealer...don’t known why

I’m struggling with 420/110 when I’d need a 420/100.

Yeah I am looking to order some Ridley aftermarket parts and nothing is available (Handlebars, Forks, parts an pieces) and am being told just keep checking back.

That 420/110 on the Noah Fast seems to be the standard and it's been difficult to find any other sizes from 4ZA/Ridley. Gotta keep an eye on ebay ;)

My handlebar has arrived without the stem bolts, anyone know which are the measures of both parts?
I've written to Farsports but as I guess it will take a few days/weeks until they shipment arrives, I'll try to find them here...
Thanks

I ordered one Yeoleo bar on Oct 21 last year and they shipped on Dec 4th; about a week later it was delivered to my address.
From the outside the bar looks nice and well finished, mine is a 400/90 and weighted 390 gr; I expected lighter.
As for the installation, it was a bit of a challenge; the internal passages seemed to have obstructions and it was not that easy to route the brake cables and Di2 wires. One of the stem bolts also gave me some trouble; the thread in the nut was not smooth and damaged the thread on the bolt. I have installed other bars with internal routing with no issues at all; this one was definitely a challenge.
Other than this it is a nice bar.

Thanks

That's not bad. I'm just over two weeks for mine and no update despite "We are still manufacturing". Hoping I'll see it by February, but my experience with overseas stuff recently has been subpar at best.

A guy here in Norway sells a 400/100... about 290 eur used.
