Did a rough assembly of a 6800 group on my caad10 frame last night. With the caad having a relatively narrow seat tube, the new " support bolt" that is meant to touch the frame entirely misses it. Is this likely to have an impact on performance, or at worst will it be no worse than previous generations of Shimano front mech?
