Thanks for taking an interest in these "special" components that Specialized bakes into their bikes. Beyond the FS I was most surprised on how they ran away from the boost wheels. They included a frame setup with unique for a road bike. In virtually no time after the second Creo was introduced you were no longer able to upgrade or replace the boost wheels. Thanks again for the work you put into this. Really enjoy your videos.
This is in the realm of, I didn't know I needed that. But I've definitely pre-ordered because I need it.
Clever!
Hey, that's cool.
I was thinking of replacing my fs2 and wanted to slam it. You might have addressed my issues with one solution.
You’re not the only one!
like to see add suspension stem on the future shock, must be fun to test it out
Haha a viewer tried it and said it feels really wonky and disconnected
A slammed Roubaix is even more aggressive than a Tarmac SL7. I machined my own replacement earlier and found that I had to use high headset cover 😂
Haha did not know that. I recall the roubaix being pretty upright. I guess it’s changed a lot since my old SL4 😆
I don't want to change the geometry of my Sirrus X 4.0 (w/OEM flat bar) so, should I'm guessing I should get the original FSD kit? (tia)
Yes, the original FSD kit is a direct replacement.
You could have two treaded tube instead of the cartridge and have a ring on top to adjust height on the fly? Wouldn't that be possible, just asking?
Interesting idea. Cost would certainly go up and reliability might go down.
Any plans to sell the shorter duckbill, or do you know where one is available? I'm not sure a shorter one came with my Roubaix (or I lost it) and I can't seem to find the shorter one online. I'm planning on ordering this, but I'd like to have the shorter cover before I do.
You can get a lot of FS parts at Performance bike. The short duck bill is like $15. www.performancebike.com/specialized-future-shock-headset-top-cover-black-0mm-stack-s192500011/p1535703?v=1142855
So do you need to use the shorter "duckbill" or can you still use the taller one?
You can use either duck bill
Why have a roubaix if you are going to get rid of the Futureshock. I love mine and recently had an exchange one on my 2020 bike.
Maybe because you wanted one and don't anymore? Or you really needed a roubaix for the riding you were doing and don't anymore. Plenty of people do rear suspension deletes on full suspension mountain bikes. This isn't too different than that.
@@veganpotterthevegan Thats a strange one, i have been mountain biking and racing since the early 90’s and never heard of anybody doing a rear suspension delete in all that time. 🤔
@carltonholmes8061 it's a big enough thing that there are delete kits vs jerryrigging them
Man this future shock thing is a mess. Crazy to have to create such an intricate solution to what should be a pretty basic steerer tube. Genuinely curious, does anyone who owns one of these frames with the FS actually like it?
To be honest, the ride feel when it's new is remarkably good. The problem for me is that its such a complex system and both of mine eventually started making creaking and popping noises. The cartridge is not serviceable and the official recommendation is to replace it.
I've got two '21 Diverges. One with FS 1.5 and the other with 2.0. I don't have a problem with either and appreciate that they take the edge off big hits.
I have a Domane. But I'd love to have a Domane with a future shock IF I could have a very slammed stem. I've borrowed one and loved it but the geometry just didn't work for me.
So far loving mine. It is not an intricate solution. For that go look at MTB forks. This is vastly more simple. The problem is that it needs more adjustability because people ride with different weight put upon the handlebars. I have the FS2 and think that while it adjusts dampening it is limited in not allowing adjustment of the springs. For me it is pretty good at its lowest damping setting. Which makes me wonder if FS1.5 would not be an improvement.
I never liked Specialized until I rode the Roubaix I bought my late wife. With carpal tunnel syndrome I was surprised at how much the FS helped, yet the bike's stiff enough to rival my hardcore race bike. It's one size too small so I found an S-Works frame in my size and swapped the components over, and it's by far my favorite bike. I want to buy a Diverge to replace my CX bike but can't find a decent deal.
It's kind of surprising that specialized bike doesn't offer a delete kit themselves, since some folks might want to switch out the cartridge between road rides and rough gravel rides. Kind of like having two dedicated wheelsets on the same frame.
100% agree.
Oh it's an ads 😂
Told ya!
