Stupid hub vs stupid fork vs stupid me

[Eddy Gordo]

Sorry to keep everyone in suspenders. Pics here. Disc is touching the brake mounts (on the fork). Have tried without caliper attached and same thing.

 

 

Looking at these pics again and comparing the gap on your bike to the gap on my daughters bike it not too far off...

SO I'm suspecting its something simple like

1. the end cap is too short
2. the wheel and fork is not compatible with that disc brake rotor.
3. the brake caliper adaptor is not mounted the right way around

OP maybe measure that hub and make sure it is non boost

I have a feeling that is a boost hub and someone filled down the endcap to make it work

 

Now boost will never fit in no-boost.

Here is the measurement

When you fit the wheel, do you struggle or is the some space between the fork and the end caps before you tighten up the axle?

It's tight but but I don't need to force the fork legs apart. 

 

Head on. Want to see how the wheel lines up between the fork legs.

Will take now

 

Did you get this fixed? To me it looks like someone filled down that end cap in your last pic.

The part number is never that close to the edge and the top should be black not shiny

 

Not yet, no.

OK, hard to see but whole wheel is a bit off centre towards the brake side.

The thread there is the end of the thread sticking through the hub. The disc is flush.

It does seem to be non boost but I now believe the end caps are wrong. 

 

Any ideas where to get the right ones?

Are the end caps the same size? Have you tried swapping them around?

Both sides are a different fitting so cannot unfortunately.

Get in touch with your local Specialized dealer and see if they can assist.

 

Roval is their in-house wheel brand

That end cap has defiantly been sanded down. These are the originals.

To my knowledge Roval have never had a hub with threaded end caps. So either it's not an original Roval hub or it's an old hub that is no designed to be TA compatible.

its a Roval hub so any Specialized COncept store should have the correct end caps for the hub.

Definitely the end caps are not correct as the wheels is not centred

Cool, I shall go on a road trip, I think Ballito is my closest. 

 

I have found a bunch of people on the net who have similar Roval issues, apparently there are many many end caps.

there are many variants of the hubs as they made changes almost every year

O damn, I see now, it is straight pull spokes. 

Take the bike with when you go to a shop. Then test fitting is done once off.

I'm pretty sure the thread on the rotor side of the hub is for a bearing preload adjuster. I seem to recall twiddling out some play in the front bearing of a Roval Wheel. The lady was highly appreciative as she didn't know why her brakes kept shing shinging everytime she went around a corner. So there's likely a few parts that are not correct on your hub
