If you're really keen I can send mine over to you from Australia, It's currently the only thing I have left of my bike. I certainly don't need mine at the moment.

I would REALLY like to see this solution (the bontrager box) added to the 3 options Mark Cote tested not long after that post was made.

Aesthetically, I think it gives the bike more balance with the deep head tube section.

Seriously, don't take me too seriously.

I will be at IMFL and you can use my Fuel Cell...I am not going to be using it. I could bring it down with me (I get there Monday). Let me know if you are interested.

Regarding the corbon cockpit, does anyone have any idea of the actual weight saved by moving from the alloy setup to the carbon?

Thanks,

Guys.

Looking to pick up some Planet-X tubs, u get the supplied brake blocks but can this easily be interchanged with current rubber ones I have on my Shiv Comp Rival callipers? They are the Specialized Aero stock ones. Looking at a 101/82 deep dish carbon with carbon brake surface. Won't go tubs if I have to change out brakes etc, will just purchase their 60 clinchers for a little more.

Thanks all.

Anyone deal with the Specialized Warranty Dept? My bike has been with them for a month already and still waiting for them to send me my replacement bike..Had a crack in the seat post carbon on my Shiv...Is it only the Cdn side that is this slow? My LBS calls 2x a week and they don't even call back...walking into the shop and seeing my parts in a box with my wheels sticking out is depressing..Thanks and a possible warning that it may be better to deal with US warranty if it is only the Cdn side with issue.

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having. Not having your bike to train with can be a real pain, believe me when I say I know what you're going through. I think there would be a lot of people on this forum that have dealt with the warranty department with Specialized for one issue or another, myself included. Communication is something that I've never had an issue with at Specialized, this forum is a great example. I can't speak for the Specialized people who generously give a lot of their time on this forum but if can manage to track them down I'm sure they can probably help you out.

It sounds like your LBS isn't getting a lot of communication back from their rep?

Is it possible to have 2 spare tubes in the fuel cell?
Have the CO2 on the sitero saddle (the wing).

Thanks. I know Mark is on the board amongst others quite often and it is great to see. Hence I assume the US department is a bit smoother than the Cdn counterparts.

Hi All,

during transportation I have lost plastic top cap from stem of specialized carbon aerobars.
Do you know if it is possible to order that part from Specialized?

Thanks in advance

Hey Matt,
I have 2012 Shiv and I have been issue with the rear brake, since my initial purchase (it won't release completely and cause the brake to drag). I have taken into a few different specialized shops and they are able to clean/adjust it and the brake will work fine for awhile. Is this just a product of the design and the fact it sits under the bike and picks up a lot of road grim and dirt? Is there anything you could suggest to improve the issue? I have thought about upgrading the brake to the new hydraulic option, but I wasn't sure of the cost/feasibility of the upgrade.



Thanks,
Adrian

New Ride!

New race setup. Never posted the bike before because it was mostly just stock. Added quarq back in August and just did first race on new wheel setup.[/img]

Wow nice shiv! Just got my 2013 shiv comp las week and its currently stock, im planning on putting carbon wheels on it, what do you think is the perfect size of carbon wheelset for the shiv to maximize aero and performance? Also im planning on changing the stock alloy cockpit into carbon cockpit, is there a big weight difference between the specialized alloy cockpit and the specialized carbon cockpit plus aero stem? Thanks

I just bought a 2012 Shiv Pro on Ebay last night. I really want to replicate what you have built. What did you use as the source material for the shroud?

I wouldn't even pretend to know what is "best." I am sure there are a ton of good option/combinations to run on various budgets. I was really planning to buy a set of Flos next year but happened to find a great deal on a set of Bontrager Aeolus 6.5's which included a disc cover. The previous owner had stripped all of decals and I wanted to add a little color to my bike so I had some Team RWB custom decals made.

I'm currently riding a '12 P3 54cm and I had a professional fitting done a few weeks ago. Torso/arms/legs pretty standard, about 5'10.5". My measured flexibility is weak and the fitter commented that the P3 probably wasn't the best choice due to it being a "shorter" frame. I bought it used and approximated based on some pre-fitting measurements of my own. One of the frames that was mentioned that might fit better is the Shiv. And now with the discounted pricing on the ''13 Shiv Pro framesets, I am thinking it might be a good time to swap out. Looking at the Medium Shiv geometry numbers, both the Stack and HT are definitely taller than my P3, though the Shiv has a slightly smaller reach. I do feel my knees hitting some currently on my P3 with a 100mm stem, but wonder if that would disappear with the higher HT/cockpit? Or should I be looking at the Large? I have the Zipp Vuka basebar and extensions, but might switch out the Specialized integrated combo due to their adjustability (read the other detailed thread on this one..). I realize some of this is hard to comment on without exact measurements and I am going to run all this by my fitter too, but thought I would ask here to get some input.

Also any issues with a Rotor 3d+/Power2Max combo on this frame? HED Jet Disc work too? Any thoughts or recommendations are gladly welcomed. Thanks.

I put 60mm on the front and 90mm on the back. I'm also considering replacing the alloy cockpit with the carbon version and aero stem. Besides the weight difference, I assume the carbon will be a more comfortable ride.

I run the Rotor 3D+ and Power2Max on mine just fine - just need the right spacers.

What aerobar setup is that?

Looks like a Devox on a -24 degree stem. I could be mistaken.

I think your right looking at the grips on the pods.


Anyone put the tririg extensions on a stock shiv basebar? I may see how that works before I put the $ into a whole new setup.

I have spent the past few weeks reading this entire thread and familiarizing myself with the Shiv. This is my dream bike and I'm hoping to be able to take advantage of the 2013 clearance sale going on right now (a few family emergencies, however have put my bike purchase plans in jeopardy).

This may be a very silly question, but what separates an S-Works from a regular Shiv? I've been drooling over the Expert package that is on sale. Just wondering what the difference is?

Hi guys! Quick question where is the serial number of the shiv located ? Needing it for registration of the bike @ specialized site :) thanks
