Could you share how you routed the di2 cabling with an endbar junction?
Sure! See this post which also has the sizes of cables: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=164007&start=75#p1636008

Does that give you enough info?

Here's my 400/100 fitted to my 56cm Tarmac SL6. Finally tracked down a proper spesh mount after not being happy with the printed one. Not sure if its me but the front feels more 'harsh' when compared to an S-Works stem and the stock alloy handlebar that it replaced. Would of thought it to be better being a one piece carbon setup. My just be in my head though.

Either way, looks really good and cleans the front end of the bike up no end, and a great deal lighter!

@jamin: did you end up using the bolt/screw provided by specialized with the mount or did you need a longer one?

The bolts that came with the mount were way too short, something like 6 or 8mm I think. I used an M4x12mm stainless steel bolt with a small amount of loctite since its the only bolt holding it on.

Really sexy bike!
Exactly what came to mind when I saw the photos.
Hehee, cheers! I've done a little bit to it over the winter, roval bars, sworks power saddle, direct mount hanger and Ultegra Di2 has cleaned the lines up nicely. However I really want an Aethos now, but just cant bare to part with this!
I have the exact same bike and tried an aethos last week, the £11750 dura ace s works. It didn't feel as fun as my SL6.

i got mine from https://www.lordgunbicycles.co.uk/speci ... bike-mount

but you need to organise a longer bolt to mount it to the handlebar

Got my set today.

But in the box, there was zero documentation about torque specs, or any other info.

This seemed very strange.

Can any one else who has a set tell me if they got any docs in the box with the bars?

Bought from a roval dealer, so not worried about authenticity or anything, just very odd, as normally you get a stack of docs!!

Thanks

Don't think I got any with mine now you mention it. Not fitted it so not really considered torque.

I notice the torque specs are actaully on the stem in very small decal.

5.1 nm.

Don't even have a .1 interval on my torque wrench, so 5 nm it is!!

Trying to install mine and is basically impossible to get on the steerer tube!!

SL6 with expander plug installed and just can't slide the thing on. Stiff beyond belief and don't want to damage anything.

Old standard s-works alloy stem pops on and off just fine.

Any tips?
