Hi all, I just built up a Specialized Aethos and the 10R carbon frame is compatible with mechanical shifting. I installed a wireless groupset and now I have to deal with this hole at the bottom bracket region, where the shifting cables would exit the frame. The plastic rails for the cables need the cables to be kept in place and even though there were covers for every other hole in the frame, it looks like Specialized doesn’t have one for this (pretty big opening, in a sensible region, very near the road surface…).
I am thinking of covering it with clear frame protector, but maybe someone has some more insight and better solutions? Specialized sells full bikes with electronic groupsets using this frame, so I’m surprised there is no ready OEM solution for it. Might have to go to a Specialized dealer and take a look myself maybe…
Thanks in advance :)
This is exactly the type of thread I expected when posting for help 😆
