S-Works Venge 2019
Moderator: robbosmans
My 2019 Tarmac Disc Expert - also dragged a bit at the rotor. Just took it in for the complimentary 45 tune, mentioned the problem. Mechanic noted that some of the on the new calipers, the pistons can get stuck out a bit after hard braking efforts. It’s raining so we’ll see in a few days time if they were able to address it. I’ve upped my out of the saddle climbing training, so I should notice first ride next week! (Roval c38 wheels).

I have to confess that this problem is putting me off a bit. I am planning to buy a Venge soon (with DA Di2) but I am not too sure now. My current bike (S2 with 303 FC) does not run at all. Zero. Too many cases of disc rubbing. If it were just one then fine, most likely a set up problem. Does not inspire me with confidence :-/

if you spend sometime and set it up well, I think it can a long way to minimize rub. If you have no patience or know how you might wanna wait until they improve. I'm in the no patience end of the spectrum myself but I manage just fine with 5 wheelsets with 4 differnt brands of hubs.

I would be keeping the same wheels on the Venge (CLX50), no swapping.
Do we know when the latest / current model will go on sale in the UK? Will it even ever be put on sale if it sells so well actually? I am interested in either buying the S Works frameset alone or the Pro complete bike.

Unlikely it'll go on sale. They've just recently put the frameset price up. Was £3,500, now £3,700. I was lucky enough to find Sigma sport doing £350 off new frames in november last year so managed to get mine for £3,150.

I don't know what the UK market is like, but in the US, I'd say there's no chance of the new Venge going on 'sale' until the next one is announced, which you can expect in 3 years time, based on the normal refresh rate from Specialized.
