@swannie: i ordered the frame as Well . I have an e tap group. The brakes of the new s works sl are direct mounted on th frame . Are you sure that the brakes of the roval group fit ? Sram had no direct mounted brakes as far as i know.

The framesets have lifetime warranty?

Specialized pretty much always has done lifetime warranty on all of their frames so I can't imagine that this would be different.

Also SRAM still doesn't make a direct mount brake so something else will have be run with the SRAM set up (TRP, ee).

Uh this might be worth a whole new thread, I haven't seen any news around a DM brake from sram this would be a pretty big deal.

@Swannie : with brakes i mean the calipers not the shifters . I am pretty sure the calipers don't fit . I contacted sram this late afternoon and they gave me confirmation of this . They don't have calipers in their groups for direct mount on the new tarmac frame.

Are you confused between direct mount rim brakes and flat mount disc brakes?

Sram still doesn't have any DM brakesets that I'm aware of. Even Katusha are still using Shimano brakes on their Aeroads.

My lbs is closed today, tomorrow i'll go there to make sure!
I asked him he was sure 'bout the DM brakes and he said it was no problem and he could order them?!
If Sram don't offer them, what else is possible exept Shimano?
I really don't like the look of new Dura Ace / Ultegra.
EE brakes? Do they function well?
