I think you're missing the clasp on the derailleur, pretty sure it's on the derailleur not the power cable or battery.

Does anyone elses forged frame have a patch of non forged carbon finish near the chain guide? Assuming it's a structural thing but just wanted to make sure before I reach out to T

I was going to use my reach adjust headset cups from my rs180.
Will they work raising stack height or would just lowering stem compensate

The new headtube is about 10mm longer
What are guys using?

I work in the carbon composites manufacturing industry and this is a normal process when molding non-carbon (metallic) materials to carbon composite components. Looks like they used material that strengthened and allowed for installation of chain guide.

Gotcha, I figured it was structural for the chain guide mounting, that makes sense!

Just scooped up the "shuttle guard" to cover the hole left in the ridewrap kit!
