Hey Matt and fellow Shiv lovers, I am looking for the tower caps that usually come with your shiv. I only have the tallest one and need any of the smaller versions. Where can I find them?
So I recently had the same issue: I cut my steering tube to minimum height (only thing on the tube is my stem). Rather than using the 4 foot tall "Control Tower" that came on it to fair the extra 2" of spacers, I needed the "zero height" Control Tower.
So I called Specialized.
These sell as a parts kit, can't buy them individually, as of time of writing at least. The Part number is "Shiv Control Tower Parts Kit" - S122500016 (S as in Sam at the front, and three zeroes in the middle). That gives you all 3 tower heights, and it only runs a few bucks. This has to be ordered by a warranty shop, i.e. Specialized dealer, and isn't available for retail sales to us riders yet. HOWEVER, THESE ARE OUT OF STOCK UNTIL MARCH 2014.
OR, you can do what I did: My LBS called Specialized to order the kit, and found out that they wouldn't be in stock until March 2014. So then he asked if they had any in the
warranty/returns shop, turns out they had the size/height I needed, and shipped it out to my shop, FOC.
