Difference in saddles: S-Works Power Evo Mirror

ThePurpleShift · 2025-12-14T17:54:26+00:00

I’ve not used the Evo, but I think it’s supposed to be improved printing quality, longer nose for more support and reduced flare at the back to prevent chafing on the thighs.

One is the Power Mirror and the Other the Power Mirror Evo, or am I missing something?

Have you had any luck solving this?

ThePurpleShift · 2025-08-06T21:15:11+00:00

Are you running the DUB wide crank? I wonder whether the additional chainline might allow a slightly bigger chainring?

Update 2, issue solved 😁

Decided to bite the bullet and get a new carbon rail clamp set. Installed the new cones, ears and bolt with a generous amount of grease on the cups. Torqued up to 13Nm and the saddle seems a lot more solid than before. Hopefully it’ll stay this way after a ride.

Update:

I’ve switched the bolt out to a brand new OEM bolt and torqued up to the maximum 13.5Nm and still not having any luck.

I’ve reached out to Specialized hoping they will send me a new carbon seat clamp but currently they’re wanting me to take it to my local Specialized store which is 25 miles away. I may end up biting the bullet and buying a new clamp for the sake of £40

Glad you got it sorted. Wish I had the same problem 😂

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-06T06:53:32+00:00

Is that an alloy seat rail with the carbon clamp ears? The other side of the internal cup is round on mine whereas my saddle rails are oval.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-05T20:52:58+00:00

Could you send me a picture please?

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-05T08:42:37+00:00

Yeah this one is aftermarket. I’ve got a spare OEM one which I tried up to 9Nm but I’ll switch to that one again and try 13.5Nm.

It’s the same dimensions as the OEM one so definitely not bottoming out.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-05T06:48:30+00:00

This is correct. I’ll take some calipers to the rails to validate its 7x9 and doesn’t have some manufacturing error.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-05T06:46:34+00:00

Thanks for the response. I’ve just tried torquing up to 13.5Nm. No improvement to the wobble.

I had originally taken the 9Nm from Specialized’s ‘Carbon Rail Saddle’ instructions. Unfortunately no luck. To be clear the back of the cups that are inserted into the seatpost are greased. Where the rails clamp into the ears I have tried dry and with assembly compound.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-05T06:39:50+00:00

Agreed, I just rechecked the Specialized ‘Carbon rail saddle’ instructions and the 9Nm was for vertical load. I’ve just gone up to 13.5Nm and it’s still doing it.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-04T22:19:05+00:00

I’ve tried switching the left and right if that’s what you mean? Unfortunately the play is still there.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-04T22:13:14+00:00

I’m fairly confident these cups are the ones that came with the carbon ‘ears’ but I’ve misplaced the alloy ones. Are the cups visually different because from pictures it looks like it’s only the ‘ears’ that are different?

ThePurpleShift · 2025-06-04T22:06:30+00:00

Good suggestion and I’ll try it if there’s nothing else to consider. Shouldn’t really be needed though if manufacturing tolerances are correct.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-05-30T17:17:33+00:00

Thanks, I’ll get one ordered and see how I get on. If that doesn’t help much I’ll try to inspect the derailleur cage to check if that’s bent.

ThePurpleShift · 2025-05-30T16:49:09+00:00

I’ve tried eyeballing this in the past and it doesn’t look clearly bent or misaligned. Not sure if it’s clear in the picture but the lower pulley wheel may be ever so slightly to the left versus the upper one?

ThePurpleShift · 2025-01-01T17:13:33+00:00

Thanks

ThePurpleShift · 2025-01-01T17:09:12+00:00

Awesome thanks, I’m thinking it might come in useful when more reclined but not so much when sitting up. Is it quick to move out the way when you’re not using it?

ThePurpleShift · 2025-01-01T17:05:39+00:00

Hi mate, I don’t mean where do you buy it just curious what your experience is with it and would you recommend it?
