Hello, I am very interested in buying one.
But I would like to use tubeless wheels...
Anyone has yet mounted any other wheels on this frame that the Roval model?
I think you must change the derailleur hanger...but what with the chainline?

And if anyone knows the real weight of this frame in 54?
Thank You.

I have a Tarmac S-Works Disc in size 52. I immediately exchanged the stock Roval wheels for a custom built set of carbon wheels from Fairwheel bikes (Enve Disc 3.4, Extralite disc hubs and Sapim Spokes). I had to buy the optional Specialized rear derailor hanger which was readily available at all Specialized shops I called. I am using the Dura Ace 9070 group set which came with the bike from the factory. It shifts flawlessly!!! I have noticed no difference between the way it shifts now and from the factory with the OEM wheels. In case enquiring minds need to know I am using 52/36 praxis rings up front and a 11/28 Dura Ace cassette at the rear end. I initially had a 53/39 chainset on the front with no shifting issues.

Thank You for your experience...I ride also with the same cassette and rings. It is the better choice to be all around, flat to mountain.

And do you know maybe the weight of your frame?

I think the frame with the bottom bracket, rear mechanical hanger and internal seat post clamp was 1058 grams. That is a size 52 frame with bare carbon finish. It weights more than my 2014 SL4 S-Works frame with included stock paint scheme.

Hope has made a new rear hub to fit the SCS-system frames.

According to their website the cassette is brought inward 2 mm to keep the correct chain line. Honestly, I do not notice a difference in shift performance between my Enve Disc wheelset and the stock Rovale wheelset with the "Correct" chain line. I bought my Enve Disc wheelset because of the weight of the stock wheelset.
