I'm using a Kickr Core with a Chisel without problems. Using the TA that came with the bike.

Thanks, that's what I need to know

EC44-ZS56, Works Components has 1, 1.5, and 2 degree headsets that will fit. You'll need your head tube length to pick the exact one. Here's the link to the one I used:

derailleur hanger availability?

anyone know where to get a derailleur hanger for the chisel? I'm not seeing the sandwich hanger #S172600001 online anywhere. Wheels MFG lists their Hanger 323 as a fit but I know for fact it doesn't work.

A buddy of mine got one at Trailhead Bikes in Ellsville, MO. It's also online at Amain cycling but it's backordered. I've had good success ordering Specialized parts from Mike's Bikes.

I'll try to call Trailhead tomorrow. Any idea how the backorder process would work out with A Main? Not seeing it in stock with Mike's either. Had ordered some there before and thought I had another spare but I guess not.

I'm a little worried about being weeks without a good hanger.

Anyone with a spare they want to sell?

It seems to be quiet here for some time and this is my first post so here we go.

XL Specialized Chisel frame
-RockShox SID 29 w/ Brain
-SRAM G2 RSC Disc Brakes
-SRAM XX1 Eagle 10-50
-Roval Control Carbon rims
-DT Swiss 370 rear hub

Lots of parts taken from my Epic Hardtail Expert (Broken carbon frame)
Brand new Chisel frame, probably one of the last few in stock. Had to be shipped from California to Texas...

Little bit heavier than Epic Carbon frame but feels way more comfortable on your rear end

Nice

I’ve read that our beloved Chisel has been discontinued.

Can anybody confirm this?

Local bike shop told my wife the same several weeks ago.
Great bike that really caters to the HS race programs and those that don't want to spend a ton on a XC ride.

Wow that stinks. One of the best bikes they have in the less than $4000 range. I wonder why, because it sold really well.

 

[Grahammcs]

They probably don’t see the need for something in between the Rockhopper expert and Epic hardtail.

 

[Grahammcs]

Apart from the fuse of course

Expert is a 135mm qr, and without the d'Alusio smartweld - In my opinion there's a need for something in between rckhppr & epic - ofc I'm bias riding the chisel myself

Apart from the fuse of course

Bring fuse back to Europe (dammit)

 

[Grahammcs]

Not even 141 QR like my old pro and not even a tapered steerer either for a grand!

Doesn’t make sense does it.

This is exactly what I'm looking to do for my daughter; XS frame, 650b wheels, shorter cranks, 11spd XO1 drivetrain from my parts bin. How'd this work out for your son?

I built up a new Chisel Comp for my son as a step up from his 24" bike. I swapped out some parts partly to fit him better and also to shed some weight.

I calculated that if I went from 29" wheels to 27.5" wheels and installed shorter cranks the pedal to ground clearance would be about the same, so I got some Stans Crest 27.5 wheels with Rocket Ron tires set up tubeless. For the cranks I got Trailcraft 52mm cranks with a 26t chainring to give him some nice low climbing gears.

I had an old 11-speed XX1 group in the garage, so I installed that to save some weight. The stock SRAM SX Eagle group is pretty heavy -- the cassette and bottom bracket felt especially heavy.

I also cut the bars down from 750mm to 690mm. This still seems wide for a small kid, but a good starting point for now. I also installed a shorter stem that I had.

Stock Chisel Comp weight was about 26.1 lbs. Bike is now at 22.3 lbs. I'm pretty happy with that.

Anybody have a Medium frame for sale...or know where I can find one?

I'm looking to build one up for my son.

I agree. Lighter bike, thru-axles, etc.
Maybe Specialized is adding those features to the Rockhopper or making a cheaper aluminum Epic.

Yeah the aluminum XC hardtail seems to get rebranded every few years. Crave, Epic HT alloy, Stumpjumper, etc

I don't think so. I just saw a list of available colors. Th rest of the Specialized lineup should be out soon. It's a tough year. Some components are back ordered.
