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.
Specialized tarmac s-works disc couple of questions.

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.

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.
