Shimano Pro Vibe Di2 stem's computer mount option.

It may be a combination of my setup and frame (which uses a 44mm headtube) but I run the stem slammed so an extension can't be put on the bottom bolts fully without a ball-ended socket. Tried a flexible entension and didn't like it particularly either.TonyM wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 9:27 pmWhat is the problem with the 3T Apto?Tifosiphil wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:12 pmPerfect, plenty of clearance for your torque wrench then?

It's a non-issue 90% of the time but if I am out/travelling and the bars are loose I have to guess the torque which is a bit annoying as I normally carry one of the Topeak Torqbar's or one of the Sealey Digital Torque's on longer rides or trips

Yes. Plenty of clearance for torque wrench using an extension.Tifosiphil wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:12 pmPerfect, plenty of clearance for your torque wrench then?
