    Been there, took me days to figure it all out. In my case the major issue turned out to be a couple of issues: At first I was using the wrong bolts. Did not realize the shifter bolts (to hose) were different from the caliper bolts (connection to hose). After getting that sorted the next issue was it turned out the reason I could not tighten the bolt (left shifter) was because I needed to have the shifter (where the hose attaches) rethreaded. All works well now. Next mission is to shorten my stem to get my fit better. They really need to make this all easier Perhaps a screw in adapter that sits in the stem, which would allow you to more easily make adjustments without having to cut the hose

      Yeah man. Short. But the Allez sprint is quite an aggressive position. So having shorter (than 165mm) is great. Cadence has gone up & I can spend more time in the drops. Personally I don’t think you’ll regret going to 165 🤘🏼
