Don't do these "tests". They tell you absolutely nothing in terms of stiffness

For those using the stock barfly computer mount with their SL7, does anyone have issues with their computers rattling? More specifically, I'm using it with my Wahoo Bolt V2, and the computer rattles quite a bit over bumpy roads. I can feel a little bit of play, when the Wahoo is fully inserted after the full 1/4 turn. I just picked up the mount from my local Specialized dealer last week, so it's practically brand new and not worn out or something like that. The mount itself is securely attached to the SL7 stem. Just seeing if this is a one off, or if other users (Wahoo) are having the same issue?
I had the same and put a small bit of tape on the Wahoo. It's now snug without rattles.
Tried this and it worked brilliantly, thanks.

How soft / much do your frames flex?
Top and down tube, doing the "thumb" test by pressing with your hand. Can you see the carbon flex?
Like just above the BB (towards headtube direction) if you can squeeze the frame and see it compress with your hand.
Not only does this tell you nothing about frame stiffness when you're on the bike, it can damage the frame

Can someone confirm this.
2023 SL7 Expert comes with Rival (not Ultegra Di2) & the price is 6995 CAD.
I'm still searching for a SL7 w/ULT Di2 in size 52 in Toronto, Canada.
The SL7 Comp comes with Rival, for 6,000$ CAD, the Expert comes with Ultegra for 8,000$, as far as I can see on the website. I don't see any in stock anywhere in Canada. There are some available in the USA, like NJ, which might be able to ship to you, but the price is even higher in the US at 8,300$ USD.
2022 SL7 Comp comes with Rival, for $6,000 CAD, the 2022 SL7 Expert comes with Ultegra for $8,000 CAD.

Again...

I told you what is currently available, future products or changes to the line up are yet to be announced and if anyone knows anything they would be under a non-disclosure embargo anyway, so it would be rumours at best. So no one can confirm what you want and any provisional information you may have heard is subject to change until Specialized announces anything. Who knows we might even get an SL8 in 2023.

Have this issue as well. Where/how did you stick the tape? Could you post a photo please. 😊

Has anyone on here changed their bars to the Roval Rapide? I've got the Aerofly two bars that my SL7 originally came with and wondering if I need to buy the cable cover wing bits along with the Rapide bars, all the adverts I see don't mention them.

I know the answer will be on here somewhere but it's a rather long post now :shock:

Thanks in advance :thumbup:

105 Di2 has been posted to the USA site. Same price as SRAM Rival urpriingly. Trying to decide if I should buy a frame since I already have decent carbon wheels and other essentials, or if I should get a 105/Rival build. Probably can still build it up from parts much cheaper than buying a complete bike.

The Roval Rapides come w' the small triangle shaped "wings". I put a set on my new Tarmac recently & discovered Specialized had sent two Left "wings" instead of a L & R. Took longer than it should have on the phone w' Spec Cust Care to get it sorted, but they put a new set in the mail
