Sumo-
That’s what I’ve done with previous show builds, just epoxied the jenction box clip onto the stem for a clean look, but annoying thing with these bars is the garmin mount attachment bolts are in the only place you can mount the standard junction box under the stem, so if epoxied in that spot, it would rule out ever using a garmin mount.
Have looked at a few garmin mount/junction box combo thingies, but none of the ones I’ve found are gonna cut it for this build, so am looking into having something custom 3D printed as a solution I think i’ll Be happy with for this build.

I would have liked to use eTap on this build TBH, as it’s a balls out show bike being built for Bespoked for Genesis/Madison/ DT Swiss, so have been confined to their associated brands. Hence the Pro finishing kit and Shimano. I really like the R870 hydro groupset, but I need to use an integrated bar/stem set up on this for the added useable paint real estate, because show bike.... but there just don’t seem to be any useable options out there At the mo to get rid of the stem mounted junction box without drilling fuck off big holes in the bars.
I’m not complaining, as I’ve been gifted some fucking awesome shit to build a show bike with, just annoying that Pro can’t seem to make a bar that actually works with a groupset produced by the same by the same god damn company!!
