I'm happy with it. I also have the Extralite bolt and after seeing it is the same weight as the provided Titanium bolt I'm going to user the provided Titanium bolt first. It sits below the topcap unlike the OEM bolt and cap.Sander7721 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 1:18 pmWhats is your thoughts on this cap?

Hey guys, I’m looking to build an SL8 with Roval cockpit and would appreciate any advice. First time with a Specialized bike so I’m a bit unsure with sizing.
Currently I ride a size 56 Emonda with a 90x400 integrated Bontrager cockpit. If I were to build a 56 SL8 with the Roval bars, any views on whether the same size bar and stem would be suitable? I’m aware the bar reach on the Roval differs vs the Bontrager, so wasn’t sure if a longer stem would be advisable.
I visited my local Specialized shop to get their input which was basically that the two brands are the same in terms of size and therefore I should just keep the same measurements, but they didn’t fill me with confidence so I’d appreciate any other views!

I would use geometry geeks to see if there is a difference in the effective top tube between both bikes. Then add the stem length to the emonda and see if you need to add/subtract with the Roval cockpit size.squiresm wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:03 pmHey guys, I’m looking to build an SL8 with Roval cockpit and would appreciate any advice.

Not sure if it applies to integrated, but some Bontrager bars have 100mm reach. Way more than most competitors so take that into account if needed fit wise.squiresm wrote:Hey guys, I’m looking to build an SL8 with Roval cockpit and would appreciate any advice.

How does the frame geometry compare though

Use this site stick on the geo of the frames and it overlays them
Might need slightly different bars of there is a huge difference in frame geo

Should do just got tunnel vision when I got the bike and was trying hit sub 6kgs which I did but.
Some of the weight Weenie stuff can compromise on performance and is well more suited to the lighter guys imo.
I’m happy bike is still light and most of all it’s quiet when grinding up a climb out of Saddle.

anyone used this topcap bolt and know if it sits more flush? looks like it based on their photos, but then again specialized's own pictures don't show the issue so can't be sure. cheaper than the other options I've seen discussed here so curious if it'd solve it.
