Factor LS
Moderator: Moderator Team
For those of you guys that went with Di2 on the LS, do you happen to know your wire sizes (particularly for the seat tube). I have a size 56 and finally was able to locate the last Shimano parts other than the wires, so hoping to get this guy built this weekend! I believe the downtube is 1000mm, FD wire 300mm, RD 700mm, but I am a little less sure of the seat tube (1000-1200 is what I am guessing). I am planning on skippping the Y split as I won't use sprinter or climbing buttons.
Lots of bikes: currently riding Enve Melee, Krypton Pro, S Works Crux, S Works Epic Evo, SL7.
In build: SW SL8

You probably need the 1000. I have a shorter cable in mine (52cm)...maybe 750? my junction B is stuffed in the seat tube for a tighter fit for less rattle so the longer length is not needed in mine.

Done with the LS build.
Size 54"
Enve finishing kit (with the new AR handlebar)
Enve 3.4 AR's
almost 8 kilo
The only downside was the cable management with no stop like the OPEN. It slides back and forth in and out of the frame. Not the best solution. Otherwise a fantastic bike, gravel yet still a racy feeling.

I have both. The Open is more relaxing. Comparison is Porsche (LS) vs Mercedes S-Class (Open)vinuneuro wrote:Any addtional feedback from owners on how the Factor LS rides? I'm particularly wondering how it is vs. the Open.

Its for me better then the regular aero and the gravel bar. The flare is on point, and the rounded edges is really nice as well. Then only thing is, you can mount a computer mount on the actual bar. The once from mounted on the stem point way to upwards.

How do they mount to the fork crown? I can't see how that works in any of the pics. Is there a threaded hole in the underside or rear of the crown?alexneumuller wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 1:40 pmAt the back of the BB and at the tru axle area is super easy. But it needs another one where usually the back rim brake would sit.

Are you able to mount any standard fender to the mounts?
But for now I m taki g the easy option and using other bikes

Considering one of these as an ((n-3)+1) as it could probably replace my Open UP, Mason Bokeh, and Mason Definition for the use they get. But good mudguard fitment is essential.

I'm going to ask in here as it seems to be a gravel hive mind and I've not seen much on the topic.
Has anyone tried to fix oversized jockey wheels on a GRX derailleur which aren't Kogel or Ceramic Speed yet?

Thx, good to know. The Enve bar was way too wide for me. The SES Aero bar didn't have enough flare for me.

What RD cage and extension linknare you using to get that AXS RD work with an Eagle 10-50 cassette? Is that an Eagle chain as well?
