Xlab Carbon Sonic Wing install on Cervelo P2?

I’m trying to install the Xlab carbon sonic wing on my 2013 cervelo p2 seat post but it looks like the wing is off by 0.5mm and not lining up correctly with the seatpost? The screws will fit through one side but the other side won’t line up no matter how I position it. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone had this problem?

It’s tight but it the bolt should screw in.

Maybe loosen the bottom one to get little more play. Or if you think screwing the bolt in will crack the carbon gently drill out the hole a bit.

It seems like it is off. Maybe I am being too gentle? I don’t want to break it though. You think I should file the hole down to create a bit more room for the screw?

You could file it a little it won’t hurt anything. Be gentle. Carbon can be brittle. Try putting the bolts in from the other side. Maybe one plate is slightly different. A tight fit once fully installed will be ideal.

If you want to avoid the tightness a smaller diameter bolt would also work.

Could the wing be on upside down? Email the guys at xlab, they have been quick to respond to my queries when I’ve reached out…

I have p2 & sonic wing and it works perfect

It should bolt right on, if not file the holes a small touch.

Thanks guys. I’ll send xlab an email and see what they say, if not I’ll file it down a touch. It shouldn’t take much filing to make it fit.

Thanks Damon. I received your email. I was able to use a drill press to make the top hole just a tad bit larger and it fit like a glove. Thanks for your help.
Cheers!
