Alright, one last reply....I replaced my stock arm pads with TriRig Ergo cups. It made a world of difference on comfort.

Rear brake through the stem, I think you mean. Rear mech routes out the extension and down. Rear brake is shown routing through the stem with the adjuster before the stem, which is pretty different than how mine is… :/



Great, thanks for showing that. I searched, but couldn’t find anything. Not surprised I’m not the only one with that issue, there was a lot of pressure on that adjuster. The more I think about it and see what you did, I think I’m just going to nix the adjuster altogether. I can’t think why it’s required and it seems like a potential recurring fail point.

Thankfully I’ve already got a cable cutter; I think I can get away with just replacing the housing as long as that cable isn’t worn.




Interesting, thanks re: brake routing. It’s interesting, it’s obviously meant to go that way, but in my imagination of it it looks like a tight bend. I might give it a try…

Ultegra di2 is definitely the move, but $$$. I just ride the bike so little it’s hard to justify, though I certainly am all on board the train. I’ve kicked around cobbling out a used group off of eBay, but I just actually ride it so little it’s hard to justify for me right now. But then I’m also riding a road bike from 2011 that I just completely tore down and rebuilt; I keep my gear a loooooong time hahah. But yes, the di2/discs/large tire upgrade will be very nice.

I’ve got the stock 105 direct mounts. They’re okay. I just really dislike rim carbon brakes regardless. I think if I was at the point where I was considering spending ~1000 for a new di2 group and better brakes, at that point I’d probably just scope out a full bike swap. I really like this bike overall though,



It’s probably not recommended…. 😅 But I’ve had no problems. Actually, the pads have been absolutely locked in place; the risers occasionally wiggle a bit (I’m still ob the V2 clamp; have the v3 sitting around until I do this work; Haven’t been riding it outside so.) But yeah, my pads have been rock steady for me. FWIW, I’m fairly light (160lb) and don’t really wrench on my bars, so that could be a factor.

I’m sticking a pair FLO wheels on my ia16. Is there a secret to adjusting that rear brake to make it wider? One side is easy with the cable, can’t figure out the other.

It can def be frustrating. As mentioned just above, I just worked on one of these. So the brake has an allen screw on one arm that allows you to adjust that one side in and out (assuming I was doing it correctly....).
What I found I had to do was get the cable tension set so that the -other- side was a proper distance, and then fine tune the side with the adjustment screw after that. Clear as mud?

Maybe someone else can chime in with a better way of adjusting them, but thats how I had to do it, and the bike I was working on did not have one of those inline quick release / cable adjust things.

Anyone have any experience with this using the specialized setup:

Anyone know the size of the screws in the rear dropout. While I had my wheel off, I noticed mine looked like they had been mashed with pliers.

Hi All!
Help is needed. I bought a used Felt IA2 disc, but the old owner didn't has the "short bridge" used between the raisers.
Any idea where I could find it? Felt website say sold out.
I have the raisers at 30mm but I'm a bit scared that it can fail without that bridge support.
I'm light anyway, 58kg, but still feel scared about it. Attached the picture of the part I'm looking for

Sorry, can't help on locating a narrow bridge, but can't you use the adjustable bridge at the narrowest end of the slots for as an interim solution? It's not as elegant but should allay your fears.

Actually, this is the only way I can use the adjustable bridge, just below the cups.
I think the adjustable bridge is not for this cockpit...

Why can't it go in the correct location? Do the slots not end narrow enough? I thought they came down to the narrow bridge width.

Because there is a small step on the clamp that hinders the right location of the adjustable bridge.

Refer to the Bayonet 3 manual but I think for 30mm of spacers they specify a configuration of 20mm spacer + adjustable bridge + 5mm spacer.
Now I recall that bridge being less than 5mm thick, perhaps closer to 2mm, but it'll get you close.
If you wanted another 5mm, I think you can swap the 5mm spacer to 10mm, or add a 5mm below the bridge and keep the 5mm above it - but again, check the manual for the alloy aerobar before acting on my advice!

I just went through this and you need a spacer above the adjustable bridge. However I might have the narrow spacer. I'll look when I get home.

Yes exactly, I may need a spacer there. Ok Matt, let me know!

I bought these for mine. Had to buy a pack of 100 for around $9 on Amazon. Kept about 10 of them and gave the rest to my bike shop.

Hi Matt, any news about the narrow bridge :)

Hey sorry I forgot to reply. No I do not in fact have an extra narrow bridge. But to use the wide bridge you do need a spacer above it. A 5mm works just fine

You're talking the rear set screws? Yeah, one of mine was too. They're m4x16mm stock. I found some at home depot that worked great that were 12mm long. It's these, 100%:

Hi All!
Do you know where to find a set of saddle clamp for IA 2019?
If you have a link it will help me a lot! I checked on the Felt website but I couldn't find it.
