My understanding is that standard stems fit the delta steerer with the little adapter pieces in place.

Okay, fun party time.

I decided that I want to try the Coefficient RR bar again (I’ve liked it in the past) and to replace the 44cm (ugh) Vision Trimax Carbon. Since the RR bar has a spot for climbing shifters, I thought I’d give those a try as well. While I’m at it, I said, I might as well hardwire the shifters to the battery as I kind of prefer that (my hydraulic cables are too short, so I have to run some new ones anyway). After finally figuring out the routing scheme for the battery, I got the battery wired up with a long EW300 wire and my rear hydro line routed. Everything looking good after a bit of cursing.

However, I rolled back the hoods on my R8170 brifters to discover 2 ports instead of 3. NOOOOOOOO.

I was going to run the long EW300 wire from the battery to one shifter and then a shorter cable to the other shifter. That should work. However, in order to use the remote shifters, I guess I’m going to have to get a junction box. Crap.

I’m guessing it’s more trouble than it’s worth and I’m not sure where I’d even put a junction box (in one end of the bars?). Any suggestions?

So you have one free port on a shifter right? You could run a Y-shaped wire into that last port, the other two ends plug into each remote shifters.

Also, because people will care, my 44cm Vision Trimax Carbon bars weighed 236g

The 110mm Conceal stem without the Garmin mount was 213g.

The garmin mount for the conceal stem with the GoPro attachment weighed 33g.

RTFM.

JC304 doesn't need to go anywhere in particular. Put a couple of pads of sticky backed foam on or bubble wrap it, stick it on the downtube. It's barely any more effort than your shifter to shifter plan and all you need is one more cable and a £25 junction box. It's really not the end of the world!

Anyone know if the slam that stem bearing cover will work on the new super six?

Looking at pairing that bearing cover with an extralite stem and 3t aeroflux bars for internal cable routing, just not 100% it will all work as planned together.
