Anyone know if the SRAM eTap Blip Box will fit under there like the Di2 junction box?

Why doesn’t this work with Cervelo frames?

The Hans half of TorHans haunts these forums. Perhaps he can chime in if he sees this.

It will fit but it's wider than the top tube and not nearly as perfect as the original. Apparently it's not as aero

I have the new one on the new P2. It's marginally wider than the top tube (like...mms, maybe 1) and I think I put a new small hole in to match it up with the cable entrance to the top tube. I like the new bento MUCH more than the old one. Easier to get things out of and larger, and I think cooler looking.

Looks great. Anyone know if there's any way of mounting it with velcro tape or something for those of us not lucky (or smart!) enough to have top-tube bosses? I'm happy with my Dark Speed Works, but this just looks much cooler!

Buy Velcro and try it. It should be strong enough to not come off

Do you think the Blip Box will fit under it like the Di2 junction box?

It will work on any frame with top tube boss mounts. If you have a Cervelo with the 3T Aduro stem the Aerobento (not X) is a perfect fit. This one gives you more volume and allows for easier integration.

I'll change the verbiage on the website for clarification.

Do you know if either of the Toirhans Bento boxes for the latest model BMC time machines? I have the TM02 and the bosses sit a bit further back on the top tube. I had the Aerobento previously on my old P2 and that was fine. Not sure if the AeroBento or X would be too wide for the BMC? I did buy a Specialised Remora box, but that was way too wide so had to return it.

Can someone post pictures of it mounted on a new Cervelo P2? Seems like a good setup but want to take a look at it.

I can take one of an NP3 tonight, if that helps.

So Areobento is better for a p5 (3T stem), but how about the P2/3?

The image's on the BentoX page are a little confusing, it appears to have lips that wrap the stem but on-bike it seems to abut...

I did put an extra hole in the base to move it closer to the stem...I really like it. while it isn't perfectly lined up like the original, it is easier to get things into and out of and quite a bit more storage.

Hope this helps!

Sorry to be so fussy but any chance you can take a closer pic. I’m trying to understand (pictorially) how much it hangs over the tube

Thanks for the photo. Definitely going to be too wide for my BMC. TBH the top tube on the TM02 seems pretty narrow in comparison to my P2, not really sure why they put the bosses where there did, I can't see many boxes fitting there.
