DieselnDust Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 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 likethe end cap is too short the wheel and fork is not compatible with that disc brake rotor. the brake caliper adaptor is not mounted the right way around
Quagga Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 OP maybe measure that hub and make sure it is non boostI 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
mahleu Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 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.
mahleu Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 OK, hard to see but whole wheel is a bit off centre towards the brake side.
mahleu Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 a.jpg The thread there is the end of the thread sticking through the hub. The disc is flush.

Any ideas where to get the right ones?
DR ◣◢ Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Are the end caps the same size? Have you tried swapping them around?
mahleu Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 Are the end caps the same size? Have you tried swapping them around? Both sides are a different fitting so cannot unfortunately.
DR ◣◢ Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Get in touch with your local Specialized dealer and see if they can assist. Roval is their in-house wheel brand
Spoke101 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 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.
DieselnDust Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 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
mahleu Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 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.

Eddy Gordo Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 The thread there is the end of the thread sticking through the hub. The disc is flush. 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.
DieselnDust Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 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
