Bumping up old thread
Does anybody run 25mm ID rims (e.g. newer ZIPP 303) on SL6 disc? Is there enough clearance left with 28mm tires mounted? I have such wheels on my CX bike and weasured width is about 33mm

I have been running 30mm measured tires in an SL6 for 2 years. Just put on a 32mm gravel king slick on that measures pretty true to size and it fits just fine. Also had a roval rapide front wheel in my SL6 with no clearance issues.

I just bought an SL6 disc frame and need to buy the grommets for a Di2 installation. I have read the user manual and it tells me all of the parts needed apart from I can't work out which part is required for the front derailleur Di2 wire on the seat tube. I have found this photo showing the grommet on the frame but can't seem to find any info on it online. Does anybody know which grommet/part is required? Thanks
A few years too late to the party but I've just finished building up my SL6 frame I got second hand, with my existing Stayer wheels and a new R8170 groupset. Got the Zipp Sprint SL stem and Pro Vibe Aero SL bars. Love the look and feel of the bike!

Putting out some feelers here.... I just found out today that my fork steerer has a huge groove in it from some bad bearings. I'm hoping and praying that I might get some warranty assistance, but in the event that I don't, I'm hoping that I might find someone that has a fork from an SWorks SL6 disc laying around...
This is the bike I have...

Rich, take it to Swamp Ghost Frameworks Carbon Repair, they're local. They've done two repairs to my Tarmac. Price and quality are good. Let me know if you have any questions. - MattCrankAddictsRich wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 11:42 pmPutting out some feelers here.... I just found out today that my fork steerer has a huge groove in it

So.. it turns out that Specialized is going to warranty the fork. Unfortunately, they no longer have any color matched forks, so it will just be a gloss black fork. It should look ok. I acutally photoshopped a picture and it looks pretty good.
^ see if you can also keep your old fork, then repair it - likely a Spec shop will likely have to take "possession" of the fork, but Spec will probably not pay to have it shipped back to them. Seems aesthetically preferable to keep the painted fork on the bike
