Back to the TT bike now, and I was getting my DIY skills out again. I'd always thought it could use a nicer transition from the bar to the top tube, and needed a space to store a car key whilst racing, so dredging up some 15 year old knowledge on 3d modelling made a bento box
I was messing around with my position quite a bit and getting fed up of how long it took to change stack height on my existing base bar, not to mention the small fortune that was being spent on bolts and risers, so ended up springing for a Tririg bar set up. This also had the incidental bonus of making the setup look pretty badass from the front:
You may notice Shimano sprint shifters enabling base bar shifting, despite the shifting system being SRAM. The blip box just responds to any swich input so five minutes with a soldering iron and some sacrificial clics later I could now shift from the hoods position. I repeated this trick with a road bike later on...
I went back to a boring off the shelf bento box, which also hid all my eTap shift wiring very nicely. The only issue was mounting it, but this was soon solved with a drill, some courage and a rivnut gun
