Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am using the mechanical shifters, s I need to cover the electronic holes on my De Rosa R838. Maybe some of you are using electronic and do not need the plus.
Please let me know if you have them.
Thanks in advance

What year is your frame? My 2014 frame is set up for internal cable routing and there is only one small Di2 specific hole on the seat tube by the front derailleur. No plug was supplied for this hole. Using Di2 you actually have to replace some of the mechanical cable ports with block off plates that were supplied with the frame.

As far as i know it is a 2015. I got a plug for the plug by the front derailleur. I need the one in between the screws for the bottle cage. As far as I know this hole is for the battery.

You are correct, couldn't see that one as its under my bottle cage. I looked back at the pics I took when I built up my frame and there were plugs in that hole and the other one when the bike came out of the box. Your best bet would be to try and contact DeRosa directly to see if they can sell you some as the one under the cage is most likely specific to this frame.
