Nothing says “we really thought this through” like an extra piece of plastic to stop the cables and stem attacking each other

If I were to guess, I'd say that was a packing filler to stop the cables getting crimped in the box during transit.
I might be wrong of course but nothing says "remove me" " like an extra piece of plastic to stop the cables and stem attacking each other that's in a non matching very cheap colour.

If have had that off before the wheels went on. That said some people leave the film on their phone screens for ever too.

That integrated stem thing on the Focus... if you wanted a regular stem in its place, is there a way for the cables etc. to get to where they need to be? Other than stick-on cable/ hose guides?

Always loved the exposure lights but they have always been out of my price range! they ooze quality! No better time for a good light with the days so short!

@voodoo-rich you can get a different headset upper cap (with hole in for cabling). We've got one on the way to us so we can try different stems on the bike. So yes you can ditch the thru-stem routing but no you can't ditch thru-headtube routing.

if you ride a lot at night, twice a week in my case, man maths makes them very reasonable. i've had a 6 pack and a diabolo for about 6 years i think? still going strong. 2 quid a week. you're welcome. 😉

at least the boardman has built in frame protection from rock strikes, even though its the brake cables?

Had a Exposure MaxxD for well over 10 years now, they replaced the battery for £20 so well worth the investment. Fantastic performance and service.
