So as a side note, I am experimenting with the Metron 5d ACR evo on my SL7 while I will run the rapide on the SL8. I have always liked the metron shape for my hands, so I am curious to see how I find the new bar. I will post a review when done.

Would be interested in this one since I am considering putting Metron 5d ACR evo on my SL8 instead of Rapide, which seems to be impossible to get in 380x115. I held Metron shortly and it seemed better shaped than Rapide, but I should ride it for longer to get a better idea of its fit.

I have relatively large hands and there is significantly more volume to the Metron Evo than the rapide. I will post some photos of them side by side before throwing them on the bikes. Very comfortable on first handling impression. Slightly different shape than the Metron aerobar, but I like it!

I have a Roval Rapide cockpit on my Emonda. Looks nice and rides like a dream, really gives justice to this platform.
Hello! Can you post a photo? Did you use a spacer? Do you have the road tapered fork? Thanks

Hello guys, imho the SL7 MagCad spacer adapter kit is by far the best solution.

Was this entire spacer kit from Magcad or just the upper transition spacer? Looks great!

It's the entire spacer kit from MagCad. The cleanest solution for the SL7 if you're not slammed.

Hi,
is the cover still available? I would take it with shipping to Germany.
You can write me, if it is still available.

Ride on, Benni
Thanks again for the spacer!
Now, here is my Setup with a 420/120 Cockpit and a Hidemybell Wahoo Mount.

I am very interested in finding out what combo of top cap you're running here. Looks fantastic
Sorry, I was inactive for a while...

Yeah right, its the Aethos Topcap w screw.
In the meantime I got the Topcap from Hopp Carbon Parts with aluminium screw:

So I could send you the Aethos Cap, if you are located in Germany?
Thanks for the offer but I was able to source one. I was curious where you found a bolt cover? I can't seem to locate one for a 3 Allen key like the Aethos top cap and bolt have.

This is with Specialized adapter for the SL7
I think it looks great. Also, the Roval cockpit got my entire bike under 7kg (with computer, pedals, bottle cage, and admittedly heavier but supremely comfortable S-works power mirror saddle)

I am selling 400x110 if interested. Used it from May, no signs of use, but still have to swap it with new bars and will then take photos.

Edit: I am in EU (Slovenia), not sure how shipping to UK looks like nowadays. I can ship within EU with no problem.

Here you go.

And I can confirm that it looks great on the SL6.

Realizing your reply was from a while ago :)

How did this work out, any tips on getting the cabling done?

I have a new to me, SL6 SW UL rim which is waiting to be built fully mechanical.

Thanks

I just received my cockpit and I'm Installing on an SL7. The clamp of the cockpit is incredibly tight and will barely slide onto the steerer.

Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
