It’s been a busy work week. So there has only been moderate progress. It’s also dire weather currently and I’d rather christen this with a lovely + degree ride in the sun.

Completed:
1. Brakes bled.
2. DA Cranks fitted and acquired a new 46T Winter / Long Ride ring. I’ll continue to pose with a 50T for now.
3. Chain sized and fitted.
4. ENVE top cap / bung to match stem.
5. Hope RX Rotors found and purchased - there is X months wait for these atm and I found 2 in a shop in Wolverhampton. Matching Hope lock rings too. Gone for both in black. I think it’d be colour overload with blue here.
6. Had a battle with a Di2 cable. Now successfully rerouted to give a more clean bar.
7. Sold Ultegra Di2 bits and cranks. Need to sell the CAAD and RX4 brakes... classified ad inbound.
Should be obvious by now that I hate wrapping bars and I’m avoiding it. That will be the absolute last step.

If anyone has any Dura Ace Di2 9170 levers going let me know - the only ‘shit’ bit left on this build are the Ultegra Shifters. I’m going all in here. #buyer. This will then give me no reason for upgrades. Spend money now... save money later... right?

Can I ask what gubbins came in the box with the RX4 calipers?

I'm looking at getting some second hand and the chap says they come with the bleed block that was in the box. But is there anything else for them that was in the box? Any bleed adapters etc?

Whats needed to bleed them? I have a full shimano bleed kit but is there anything needed for the caliper end?
Cheers!

Edit - in my excitement I failed to realise google could help me, just watched the rx4 bleed procedure on youtube and see that I already have the type of syringe needed for the caliper.
