I recently purchased an 2015 S-Works Shiv w/Di2 from my LBS. Even though it was s a 2015 model it was still brand-new.
Since the day I purchased the bike I've intended to put race wheels on it which I discussed with my LBS. To that end, I purchased a set of Reynolds' Aero 90s but neither myself nor my LBS could adjust the break calipers wide enough to accommodate the wheel. The Reynolds Aero 90s are specced at 26.2mm wide.
I contacted Specialized and they noted the bike was designed around a 23mm wheel width and at best the brake calipers could be adjusted to to accommodate a 24.5mm or possibly a 25mm wheel.
That said I've seen on Slowtitch as well as on pinterest, google images, etc. Shiv after Shiv with Zipp 808s which measure in at 27.5mm according to Zipp.com which are even wider than the Reynolds' Wheels and I am wondering if anyone has this setup and can comment on what adjustments/modifications were made to allow the wheel to fit.
