roubaix

For sale is my much loved by me and the previous owner @ianrauk who will vouch for it I’m sure Specialized Roubaix Elite. Its a Large 56cm 2009 fact 7R full carbon frame and fork with carbon seat post. In June of this year it had a full Shimano 5800 105 11 Speed group set fitted 50/34 172.5 mm...

I'm looking to replace the standard Axis 1.0 calipers on my Roubaix with a set of 105 5700 calipers, but they seem not to have a long enough drop. Do I need to use something different? I think Shimano do long drop calipers but since you could buy the Roubaix with 105 kit wondered if they did a...

Hi Anybody bought one of the above bikes? It's on my shortlist and my LBS recommends Specialized over Cannondale (they are main dealers for both) based on warranty claims - both quantity and how the manufacturer deals with them. Would you care to share your experiences of the bike, especially...

After a few great years with the Roubaix, my cycling needs are evolving as my family grows (plus I need garage space), so with much regret looking to sell to fund a Genesis CdF so I can get one bike that does it all. Have it listed on Gumtree here...

It would be splendid to see Boonen win his last race. Quick Step look to be on fire just now so I reckon they'll do everything they can to make it so.

Anyone riding it this year? Anyone ridden it in the past and have any advice for someone, me, riding it this year? Anyone riding it and want to buddy up for training and the ride itself?

My 2014 Roubaix SL4 is, for me, the perfect compromise between comfort and stiffness and I find it fine for 100 mile rides although the zertz inserts don't do anything, I'm sure. My next general purpose bike was going to be another Roubaix but with discs but now, having seen what Specialized...

SOLD

I'm away from the bikes atm so no pics but can anyone recomend a decent set of guards that would fit either of these full carbon frames. The Whyte has an eylet going through the seat stay bridge and the fork bridge and nothing else. The roubaix has some sort of anchor points near the rear...

I'm not after one but found the concept interesting. It has suspension built in to the steerer tube. As far as I am aware suspension a) adds weight and b) absorbs some energy which should really go into turning the wheels For all I know it been done before but its certainly new to me...

Anyone seen it yet total re design with 20mm suspension apparently

I was under the impression that my 2016 Specialized Roubaix SL4 Elite Disc was without the SCS derailleur hanger, but when I tried to adjust the rear derailleur it snagged on the frame on the lowest gear. Any advice on how to make the wheels work with the scs derailleur is appreciated - or do I...

Ive been involved in a hit and run driver about 12.30 today. He was turning left and I went into the side of him as he suddenly stopped to let a lady with a pram cross the road. Nothing is broken of fractured but i have a lot of pain in my right wrist and leg... I asked the driver politely to...

As the title suggests, for sale is the frame, forks and seatpost. Very low mileage No damage. The picture above is when it was built up a while ago. I am looking for £170 inc del. no offers please. PLEASE NOTE: it is NOT an S-Works frame. Payment by bank transfer. If you are fairly close to me...

Tifosi Roubaix cycling glasses as new. I have never worn these, includes 3 lens types clear, smoked & amber and carry case also includes the RX02 Optical Insert for prescription lenses. All in the box as new £35 inc P&P

Morning. I know there is already a thread on here and I have read it, just want a different angle - considering the financial aspects. Currently have a Specialized Allez and a Boardman CX, but work have just started a cycle to work scheme - so now feel obliged to upgrade up to £1000. Anyway...

Hello all, I'm buying a new bike next month, and wondering if anyone has any of these bikes....I have a secteur 2014 which has served me well on loads of 70 mile plus rides and a couple of 100 plus. Which one would you buy?

I am looking to upgrade the bike and I quite like the idea of something a tad more relaxed, Di2 thrown in, got to be carbon, good wheels etc. Found a Roubaix SL3 at £2k. Am I being tight, but is £2k a bit steep? Lots of them machines come into range at that level. Love the look of this bike...

It's a 56 size frame meaning it's suitable for someone from about 5'9" to about 6'1". It has only covered around 1200 miles, which is reflected in the general condition. Nonetheless we have spent £150 having some chain damage and a few small blemishes touched up and the whole frame completely...

I've taken the plunge and entered. Gulp!!!! :eek: Now which bike to take. Newish carbon or old ali? I think the old Raleigh aluminium. Here's the link to entry if anyone is interested. http://www.sport.be/parisroubaix/2016/en/inschrijven/

It's a Cervelo R5 with Ultegra groupset. I'll upgrade to Di2 when funds allow. I sold my Spesh Roubaix to help fund the purchase. The R5 is just as smooth as the Roubaix but a little bit more racy.
