I just got a 2016 TM01! What kind of storage options do you guys have? I was looking at the speed boxes of the current models. Are there something similar out there for the old TM01's?

I haven't seen any boxes for the older models unfortunately. For a while I had a box off a shiv mounted up but it didn't fit quite right and took the place of both of my bottle cage mounts on the frame.

I tried 25mm Vittorias on the rear; too fat.

2018 BMC TM02 White frameset Ultegra 8060 Di2, PD carbon cockpit with PD Aeria ultimate stem and hydro. Sitero Rocket red seat and Rocket red Grip. Stradalli 50mm wheels and Zipp 808s depends on the race. Such a fun build and an amazingly fast bike. 3rd ride was this saturday and raced a 7 mile local Time Trial felt as uncomfortable as possible in the best way ever. (bike is very comfortable just rode harder than normal) Pics to come soon

I can attest that the Michelin Lithiums were noticeably sluggish. While the S-Works Turbo is amazing.

I run the s works turbo on the zipps for race wheels but I grabbed some cheaper carbon clinchers and I'm trying to make them slow for training. I have seen that article but I wanted to go even slower. It looks like specialized makes some fairly cheap tires that are slow or the alternative is a gatorskin.

Close......sure but they don’t rub. Never had an issue, granted it’s a newer setup but no problems thus far. Very smooth ride

I just purchased a 2016 Timemachine 02. The only problem is the seatpost clamp seems to be missing. I've searched the BB but doesn't seem to be in there. I'm not sure if the bikeshop misplaced it when shipping or what but I'm having trouble finding one online. Does anyone know where I would be able to find one? I'm in the US.

The best place is Evans Cycles for BMC spares, they’re out of the UK but ship pretty quick.
R&A cycles had one for me but I had to call them. They have a ‘13 on the website, unsure if it’s the same.

Didn't find anything on Evans. Anyone know if the 2013 wedges would work on a 2016?

I think you’re good :

This shop in Italy had it for a ‘13 and it’s the same as a ‘16

Thanks for that azurebl911. I almost have all the bits and pieces, the only thing I have left to sort is the wire length, which they'll measure up at the time of install.
Did you go with the BT DN110 internal battery? If so, how did you secure it in the seat tube? Also, I'm a bit unsure as to wether i need to buy the etube port EW-WU111 as well?

My 2018 Ultegra Di2 build. After this pic was taken added the new profile design aeria ultimate stem and bottle.

Hey stubs!
So, I decided to run the "external" battery since my TM01 has that battery compartment built in already (designed before the pencil-shaped internal battery came out, I'm sure). For me, recharge was infrequent enough that I was willing to live with having to pull it out each time. An internal battery would allow you to charge it from a 3- or 5-port junction with a USB attachment. I have this setup on my Andean and so far the added convenience factor is completely insignificant.
As for the EW-WU111, isn't that the wireless signal transmitter? I shouldn't think it's a requirement more so than an easy optional add-on. Tbh, I don't know enough about this unit. From what I read, the use case is interesting but not game-changing. Happy to hear about your experience with it though!
p.s. I've been warned by other on this forum that the latest firmware update from Shimano make the setup with 2x "magic little black box" incompatible with the FD/RD. I can't verify this; just passing along the word.
