Btw, has anyone any instructions for putting together one of these internally routed headsets, first time doing one and unsure what goes where

  Quite easy to figure out. Bearings top and bottom, C-ring then top cap. Sometimes if the top cap touches the frame a shim is needed or sand down the top cap but my R01 is perfect (no paint).

  For the hoses I route the hoses in the frame, through the bar-connect the bar, connect the levers and then mount the levers to the bar. On the other ends I try to push extra hose into the frame just in case at a later date I need to rebuild. (sometimes a few mm of hose needs to be trimmed off). If you do this use foam around internal hoses  so the do not rattle.

Thank you, all the additional spacers confused me but I can see it's essentially the same system as normal just with a cutout for cables. I'm lucky enough I just have to route the brake hoses but I'll put some foam around the rear brake hose which should help.

Just did a rough weigh on the built frame, seatpost, wheels, bar, headset, rotors and cassette and it's coming in at around 3100g, so hoping to get close to the 7kg with this
