Hey, nice video! I plan to upgrade my SL8 Pro's SL7 stem + aero handlebar combo to this cockpit. I am a bit confused, because the old stem is +6° and the cockpit is -6°. So, to have the same fit as with my SL7 stem + handlebar (handlebar stack), I would need to put at least one extra 1cm spacer below the cockpit to mitigate the -6°, right?
Hey Peter! Are you certain the old stem is +6? Pretty sure the stem for SL7 only had -6 and -12 degree angle options. There should’t be any difference with the 6 degree stem as it’s the negative 6.
@@dreamvelo3210 Thank you! You must be right. Maybe I just misunderstood the product pages. So, in the end I just have to remove one 1cm spacer to have the same fit, because the cockpit is 1cm taller. I want to cut my steerer shaft and just to make sure that I am still compatible with the cockpit when it becomes available in my desired size.
Removing 1 cm spacer should do the trick. There should be no more than 3 mm space between top of the stem/cockpit and steerer tube. Check page 25 of the user manual for more info: support.specialized.com/manuals/manuals/road-bikes/tarmac?scroll-translations%3Alanguage-key=en .If you want to shorten your steerer tube, I’d definitely recommend doing it in your LBS, if you never done it before. It can be a very expensive mistake 😂.

Will it be able to hide 4 cables since I'm running mechanical (ultegra) on my SL7?
Not an expert on this but from what I’m reading online it shouldn’t be a problem. You may need to change the housing though. Good luck!
Pudistes ocultar los 4 cables finalmente?tengo el mismo problema tambien.gracias
Pudiste ocultar los 4 cables?tengo el mismo problema gracias
Do you have a picture of a SL7 with the roval rapide cockpit?
I have not started building yet, so only have what's at the end of the video. There is plenty of photos available on the Specialized FB groups
