I take the opportunity to ask if anyone knows about the compatibility of the new 2 piece aero handlebar Cofidis is using right now.
Does it have that rectangular steerer shape allowing it to be retrofitted on a 795 without any major adaptation?

BMC ics stem seems to use a similar rectangular fork on roadmachine..no way i can get eyes on a BMC to check dims ...but food for thought..
Check the images. I cannot put the flanges in a way to hold the bracket.
Do the flanges thread together with the screw and no saddle?

Came cross this as well on same saddle fitment issues on another platform
Thanks. Is this a Selle Italia saddle? Maybe the Fizik is not a real 9" one.rudye9mr wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 10:51 amPXL_20230603_094446687.jpg
Sharing a pic of an assembled one in case it helps.

Did a search using "7x9"...seems to be a common challenge with different clamps to get that oval rail sorted...know it does not help solve the issue for you...but some data to work with

As many of other users have already pointed out, this bike certainly had its flaws despite having many upsides. I struggled with many of the same early-life issues:
1. Loose headset noise - presumably caused by a combination of the plastic spacer compression, the small surface area of the expander, and the proprietary steerer tube geometry
2. Chain rub on the dropouts due to small clearances - as another user solved this by adding a spacer on the thru axle, so did I
3. Stem/handlebar damage on the frame when full rotation - there are no endstops on this frame, so the handlebar/stem can rotate and damage the carbon fiber if contacted hard enough, I solved this with a 3d printed endstop adhered to the frame
And now for me, potentially a later-life failure mode presenting itself - delamination of the steerer tube. All solvable issues with robust engineering test and quality control.
