A TriRig front end can be used with an IA10 frameset but I think the stem stack on the TriRig is too tall for the production bike.

Hey Dave,
Our Alpha X and Sigma X stems have a very short 29mm clamping zone. So they should be just fine for swapping out on the production bike. They also come with their own ultra low 1mm dust cap, meaning that the total steerer tube needed is very little. Just 27mm or so when you account for the 3mm you leave below the top cap. Users should have no problem swapping to our hardware even on cut IA forks.
There is a custom top cap that fits the frame and box if you're using a standard stem. The head tube is not round so a round 1mm cover isn't going to be very useful.
Are you setting up your IA10 this way?

Well, I don't have the IA10 yet, so I can't confirm 100%. But I'm extremely confident that the Alpha X is both compatible, and will be a beautiful aero and aesthetic match with the IA and its box. Just for clarification, the Alpha X and Sigma X can use any standard top cap and dust cap, you don't have to use the ones included with the bar.
And to be perfectly fair, I want to go on record (again) to say that I really love the Bayonet 3 bar that comes with the bike. At $299 for the complete system, I don't think there's better bang-for-buck out there. Super adjustable, weight competitive, and probably nothing more aero in its price category. Of course, I'll be swapping out for something that's decidedly outside of its price category :-)
