Anyone running specializeds direct mount derailleur hanger with SL7? If so did you have to adjust your chain lenght when switching to DM hanger?
I've recently switched to the direct mount hanger, it puts the derailleur in exactly the same position, no need to adjust the chain length, I didn't even need to reindex the shifting

Can anyone tell me exactly which bolts are used to secure the handlebar to the stem of the SL7? My black ones on the Tarmac Pro are worn out after 10k and I want to replace them with some new Ti or steel ones.

The ones below are what I am using on my SL7's stem bolts. A little weight savings and great finish.

Im using a Tarmac Pro SL7 with the stock wheels. It feels a bit wobbly in fast descents and I cant quit push it in the corners as my old bike (Pinarello Gan S 2017). Does someone have the same issue? Or is it just me?
Had the same issue with a venge.. turned out to be bad headset installation :s

I just bought one. In the NY area there are a few bike shops with frames available.

Thanks! Will try to drop Redbeard a line.
Hi jadeaid,
I received your PM but I cannot respond.
There a few Specialized bike shops in the NYC area. Strictly, Roy’s and Hilltop at least have frame sets available. I reached out one of them which has group sets and handlebars as well. Not sure if I can post here which one.

Poster mentioned several pages back that he sanded it down to get raw carbon look and put custom decals on it.

Any rumors about upcoming MY22 paint schemes?
They can't even serve MY21.

Well so it turned out inseam was 83cm ..and i think the size 54 was a good option..got it today and so far i like it a lot! Better then the SL6! Feels way stiffer then the sl6 rim brake version imo.. regarding disc brakes: until now i didnt feel a difference to the rim brake version, so its a weight penalty for nothing (but thats my opinion)
Position feels a little more upright but not bad and still 1 cm of spacers that could be removed..
