New bike arrived from Bianchi. 928 SL to replace the FG Lite cracker jack. See post below to find out why. Took 8 days to get a new frameset from them. So Thanks to Russy and Juan for making sure I had a new ride to keep training and racing.
I mounted the powertap different this time to hide the wires even more. And since you 
like videos I taped the mounting so I could show you some tips from of the trade. I will edit the videos and post by the weekend.
For now notice the "shark-fin" inside the rear triangle. This protects it, doesn't tear zip-ties when you pull wheels out or expose the wires to the outside of the frame to be pinched, cut or crushed.
I used black electrical tape to hide the wires. I like to use the clear ties that Saris puts in the kits, on a color frame since it hides well against most colors. Since this bike is all carbon the tape doesn't show.
I see a lot of people mount their unit down the top chain stay and "wrap" it around the tube which is ugly and exposes the wire to possible damage. I hope you can see that even a "wired" Powertap system can be hidden and not distract from the beauty of a bike.
Send in your tips or pictures for readers to enjoy....
Looks pretty good. Is there going to be a video posted? Or did I miss it somewhere?
