You should use a ferrule for best performance. And yes, the angle can be steep, so you want just the right length of housing to maximize the turn radius without gunking anything up. It's a bit sensitive, but with the right length of housing it works perfectly.

I see. Since I have your attention :)... what's the best way to place a blipbox for ETAP on Alpha X? It is being installed on a NP3, btw.

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

I would like to know this too!

Just installed mine today. I installed the blip between the bars, flipped upside down under the bta bottle cage. I used the supplied out fron mount that came with with blip box. cables from blips route inside cockpit to the stem. The cable for the clics runs thru the extensions and out the bottom right to the blip. I will try to post picture later but I think it's going to work well.

By the way, one ride with etap so far. Absolutely love it. Probably won't make me faster but who cares, I love it.
