The type that attaches to your steerer. Any suggestions between these 2 types? And, for a 6 degree stem, would it be better to buy a 7 degree mount if I want to mount it just below the stem?

I would get a 7 degree mount, but neither of the ones you posted, unless you have a 31.8mm steerer tube.

this one should work fine.

I use a Fouriers. Works great. Depending on your stem geometry, you may need a spacer between the mount and the stem anyway.

Chose those as my new Canyon has that odd 1 1/4 steerer. That's 31.8 I think.

+1

It cleans up the stem by eliminating the silly black plastic band.

Is it 1.25straight bore, or tapered? I'd expect tapered, but companies do dumb proprietary things....

That is odd. it severely limits the choice of stems.

This is the stem. It clearly says 1 1/4. Then again, I'm not too great on all these specs.

As seen IRL... 6 degree stem and mount, I needed a spacer

Same here, works well.

Also have the Fouriers. It does the job. Great little device

What is the material that is made of? Curious as to why it is not parallel to the stem? Can it be bent?

I’m just puzzled that ya’ll find that the stem adapter looks better than the rubber band thing Shimano provides.

To each his own I guess.

Neater from the top I guess.

Wondering if I should just stick that box underneath the stem with double side tape. Probably the cleanest solution? I've got a square profile stem too.

The stock band looks way better...IMO

It weird shimano didnt figure out a neater solution to this. The box with the band sticks out like a sore thumb, but the bracket is no better.

The bar end junction box is much cleaner, but it doesn't work for everyone.

Would have loved that, but I use a bar end mirror, and I use right in India, and left when abroad, so can't block the bar end.

think they have most of this years bikes have it built into the frame at least the few bikes I took out for a test ride and many more in the store had them built into the frame

Finally decided to just stick the mount under the stem. So, would you guys suggest Sugru or Blu Tac. Would Blu tac hold?

you are the person I had in mind when I said it doesn't work for everyone.

It's some sort of composite material. I assume it's not parallel because it would then interfere with those stems that people "slam". My stem just so happens to have a decent up angle on it so there's more space. The stem the bike came with was quite the opposite and you could barely see a space between them.

Can you not mount the junction box to either side of the mount? I know that that would put the logo upside down, but flipping the mount would be the lesser evil, to my eye.

I think that is a 17* mount with a 6* stem?
