Roval Rapide Cockpit

[Cattiy]

Says who?

[req110]

The SL8 fork steerer and the Rapide cockpit have such a tight fit...I literally have to rotate and force the Cockpit onto the steerer. Never ever in my life had a stem such a tight fit! A normal S-Works SL7 gets much easier onto the steerer.
It is so tight I see no way to adjust the headset play...What a piece of sh** from Specialized for several thousand dollars...

Mine was tight as well, so i sprayed bit of water there and pushed cockpit onto the fork with front wheel in place pushing it from top to bottom, but gently enough.

Says who?

Says basic, common bike mechanical skills. The tire lever trick is hardly a secret. Only took a gentle spreading action to get my Rapides on, didn't even need to remove the bolts, just made sure they were a bit loose.

Did you install the expander in the steerer before or after mounting the cockpit?

Lol, I was literally just going to post that meme. Sold out quick.

Edit: I was able to snag one but I'm thinking it's not going to work. I'm riding a 40/120 right now. The width I think will be fine but I'm losing .5 cm reach and .5cm stem.
