Specialized SCS
Specialized road disc brake bikes with the "SCS" Short Chainstay System design, such as the Diverge, Crux, Roubaix, and Ruby feature a unique rear frame spacing that is not compatible with standard 135x12 or 142x12 through axle configurations. This "innovation" poses a challenge to riders looking to customize their wheels. If you want to build custom wheels for your SCS bike, your options are as follows:
- Build a custom wheel with the Hope SP24 SCS Straight Pull ISO rear hub. The hope hub is specifically designed to work with SCS bikes.
- Use a non-SCS derailleur hanger, available from your local Specialized dealer.
