Very competitive weight...
The frame has 3 holes which I presume is for Di2 routing. A large hole on the NDS downtube at the top and a large hole on the bottom of the downtube, as well as a small hole near the derailleur hanger that seems too small for a di2 cable.
There is a cable guide for externally routing the di2 cable with cable tie clips on the DS chain stay.
Would this work with a seatpost mounted battery? The seatpost is 31.6mm so need to find a different battery holding solution.
Externally routing di2 cables seems a bit old fashioned, so probably going eTap to save some hassle?
Which brings the next issue.
BB is BB86 24mm shimano.
Can’t put a Shimano crank with eTap, just wrong.
Power meter Cranks I have currently:
-BB30 Sram Red 165mm + stages - won’t fit has spindle too short
-Verve infocrank Classic 170mm - has 24mm spindle so would fit, but visually a bit grim and it’s about 300g heavier than the above.
-Sram Force 11 165mm with stages - has 30mm PF30 length spindle and will need a BB change. As light as Sram Red, especially if I get a direct Mount 1x chainring.
-Rotor Aldhu 165mm no power - same spindle length as above, Can also have direct Mount chainring for light weight.
Any opinions on PF30 BBs in a BB86?
I know that bearing life will be affected due to much smaller bearings.
