Hi all,
Long story short my 2013 Shiv had the normal bottom bracket creak they all seem to get found out the bb30 bearings were basically falling out of the sleeve and the seat post was also starting to have the normal pull out issues. Specialized has agreed to warranty the frame, however I have to pay labor to the shop to swap over components. (and they only have 1 color! the blue and red...)
I started thinking about this and since everything will be off anyways it might be a good time to upgrade as my shiv was the lowest model at the time with low end components that are now 4+ years old. I am trying to determine if I have thought of everything
Cables
11 Speed chain
Praxis BB30 conversion adapter
Shimano 105 5800 Crank
Shimano 105 5800 11 speed derailleur
Shimano 105 5800 RD
Shimano 105 5800 Cassette
Shimano DA 9000 2x11 Bar end shifters
I was only able to find 1 option for the bar end shifters is this correct or am I missing other options? Also found that the RD offers a short or long cage from my research is appears the long cage would be correct. I will be sticking with the standard 52/36 and 11/28 (was questioning this and crank arm length but it has worked well for me so far)
Last weird side question has anyone found the specialized Control towers separate the cable control right behind the stem? mine has the tallest and I would like to get the shorter options.
Thanks,
