New bars and EDC system installed not the most difficult install but I had to shave 3mm off the top of my steerer tube to get the fit pixel perfect while avoiding the use of the plastic spacers.

 

Will post photos later.

I can’t be bothered to take my seat off now ????

Ja that is the only schlep with it.

Looks really clean. All I need now is a set of black aluminum spacers below the stem. Carbon is so 2010 and nothing else on the bike is raw carbon.

 

I won’t lie. Installation took about 3 hours in total. Trimming 3mm off the fork steerer was a pain but it’s perfect now and the stem sits 100% flush with the top lip of the stem.

 

The preloading and aligning the stem at the same time is tricky. I found that removing the front wheel while on the work stand is the easiest to do the initial compression of the bearings. Then nip the stem tight and install the wheel.

 

Once off the stand you can loosen the bolts slightly to straighten the stem. Tighten up and preload the bearings. Then lock the bolts at 3nm.

 

Interesting part was torquing the stem bolts to 9nm. Felt weird.

For the weight watchers. The bar and stem weighs 390g as a combo.

I love my EDC Tool and I see they have launched a new version... I haven't used the chain breaker but the upgraded steel version does seem to make sense.

On my second dropper of theirs (first was 150mm the new one is 200mm) and it's awesome.

I got the V2 tool. I really liked the green on the V1 but ultimately it doesn’t matter. The addition of the small storage capsule is nice even though I don’t think I’ll use it ever. The purpose is for people running shorter or internally tapered steering tubes to be able to attach the plug kit.

I badly wanted to run the 180mm. Insertion depth of my frame was limited by the internal cable routing tube. Solution was to chisel away at it but no. Not happening. It was just not going to work. The 150mm still drops far enough for me.
