Bummer about the Diverge, OC…..I had just looked at your Strava post recently with it and thought “Damn nice bike there!”.
As for the FSA WE stuff……had it on for a couple of weeks now, but only one or two proper outdoor rides. But overall, I am pretty happy with it. The main reason I got it was because the Ultegra Mechanical / Hydro shifters I had on the Canyon were just sooooo big. They were comfortable, but just big (and ugly).
New brifters are super-comfy. The transition from my new Vision Metron bars to the levers is excellent and the flat tops of the bars make for a great perch.
Was a bit of an adventure finding bars that would work, however….the brifters would not fit my existing integrated Canyon bars (which were likely knock-offs, having been bought directly from a factory in China). So I bought a pair of the Vision integrated bars, only to find out that they were 1 1/8″ and my steerer was 1 1/4″ (I had received assurances that the Visions were 1 1/4″ with an adapter down to 1 1/8″…..not so much).
So I got the Vision Metron 4D bars and used a Zipp stem I had bought for the bike when I first received the bike almost 2 years ago.
Shifting on the WE is acceptable….from shifts are little long, but rear shifts quickly. Occasionally plagued by a non-shift, followed by a double-shift, but meh, whatever….
Braking is excellent….smooth lever stroke and great modulation.
Losing the shift cables up from helped clear up the front of the bike as well. (WE is wireless from the shifters to the battery, but wired from the battery to the derailleurs)
Pics of the stuff can be found below (along with yours truly!
