2013 shiv expert mid compact. Love the bike so far except for the rear brake. Other than being a huge pain to adjust, I have a major issue. My rear brake keeps getting off center and ends up rubbing the wheel on one side. Bring to the shop, adjust, do one ride, it's off center again. Anybody else with this problem? Why does this keep happening and how do I fix it? If there is no other solution, I am willing to replace with a different brake that does not have this problem.Just bought the 2014 expert, I'm wondering same thing.......perhaps something is stripped out or out of spec?

It appears to be a common problem. If you read the replies to my original post there are a few suggestions. The most noteworthy is probably the one from Mark Cote from Specialized. I did not go that route yet.
I had a good look at the brakes this past weekend and found that they were not torqued at all since the shop last worked on them. Doubting their work more and more. After torquing they seemed slightly better.
Also, I am thinking the factory setup for the springs is way too close to the rim, especially if you switch rear wheel and the one you get is not perfectly centered. So the next step would be to disassemble the brakes and change the spring position to keep the arms a bit more opened, especially the one on the drive side which seems to be the problematic one. This procedure is pretty painful so I might attempt myself or have the shop do it.
Hope this helps!
Less power, more aero.

Hello Columbus.
Here are my slides on adapting the Speed Concept draft box for the Shiv.
Added side panels to the draft box.
Used hi-strength adhesive, bond & filler to make the transition smooth.
Painted over & added 3M double adhesive to make the fit very snug.
Have Kevlar strings on the sides to tie over the seat clamp gaps for secure holding.
Stays in place and hoping it brings same aero benefit as it does the Speed Concept..

Hi Shiv owners. How do you solved rear wheel position?.
There is not just one position and you can move the wheel by 4 cm. Because of this is also impossible to center the wheel.
Please advise :)

Runless, I believe it is 5.1 N*m / 45 in-lbf according to the Spech book that came with the bike.
I got the new frame and the same thing happened, so it has gone back to Specialized UK.
I was told there is NO 2014 SWorks Shiv update model this year….is this true?
(I am not sure, but they gave ma another 'chocolate tea pot' (replacement bike) with the same issues as the one I sent back, so what is the point of this if the issue still remains and has not been rectified?…I was furious TBH!)

Hey there,
I really have a problem removing the old brake bolts from the fork to mount the magura adapter. And I am afraid to use too much force. Do they use some threadlocker and you have to heat it up? Anyone else had trouble removing them?
btw it is a 2012 shiv expert.
Thanks in advance.

Just pulled the bolts off my Shiv. There was probably something on the bolts to hold them and had to use a fair amount of force and a 12" wrench, but no heat.

Hi,
Can you tell me where you got the frame template? I'd like to muck around with a customized frame design but can't find a blank template, but you've apparently solved that problem.
Cheers

I just traced a side profile picture I found online. Let em see if I can create a template for you real quick.

Here is a rough template....let me know if that works for you. You can always retrace or add the section if you don't want the crank showing...

Looks good man. I recently purchased a discounted 2013 Shiv Expert - mostly to save money but also because I wasn't sure I liked the paint scheme on the 2014 based on the pics on the Specialized website. I've yet to see a 2014 in person, but seeing an actual pic of yours, I think it looks pretty good. I like how it breaks up the lines of the frame - doesn't look so bloated. The Shiv isn't my favorite frame design, but man it is a more comfortable ride for me especially for long distance races.
Thanks! Yeah my first 30 mile ride I was holding 20 mph steady and it felt great......I do like how the paint job breaks up the thickness on the down tube. So far so good, very fast, very comfortable!
