Shouldn't be a problem. I've had a bunch of bikes with both campy and shimano batteries in the seatube without holders. They are usually very easy to get out.

My battery actually got stuck pretty bad in the seat tube as the tube is a weird shape that easily wedges the battery in place. If you can, I would tape a string or something on the bottom of the battery so you can easily pull it out when you need to.

I just received by x68 and there appears to be a carbon fiber lip in the seat tube that is preventing me from installing my DI2 battery far enough down in the tube to adjust my seat height. I suspect this is where 2 different carbon parts were joined together.

Is this fixable? I think cutting my seatpost shorter and drilling new di2 holder holes will not get me the minimum depth required.

Update: GCN's sandpaper on a stick approach didnt work. I ended ramming the carbon fiber lip with a metal pole until it shattered to pieces. Not exactly an elegant solution.

Now that we're pretty much at the end of the season in a lot of north america, how has this frameset held up so far? Any longer term reviews?
