Pretty sure yeah. 25mm tyre and there's about 2mm above the tyre and a few mm either side.
I had to stop on a climb before because a leave got stuck to the tyre and was making a noise every rotation between tyre and caliper.
weird - I've got Ultegra brakes and Zonda's with 25mm contis on and zero clearance issues
Mine aren't no.
More clearance than in that photo? Well the wheel is slightly out of true so only tend to hear it when I get out the saddle or as I move off but quite annoying!
Like the current 105 & Ultegra then really...!
Have to agree and most of you are right about the SCS system being a bit of a nightmare for owners and Specialized themselves. I was aware of it when buying my Diverge, many others were not...!
Thankfully Specialized have moved away from it with the 2017 Diverge and Crux, using the now 'standard' 142mm hubs.
I've seen 6870 DI2 shifters already going for not that high prices on the 'bay...
Don't worry too much about it... All it takes is a dodgy PWM offset ride and all of generic Strava power data will be screwed anyway! Doh! 100%+ intensity while commuting at @15mph lol
TOIGHT!
Had similar with my Giant and the Raceblade Long mudguard mounts. I remember stopping a couple of times from leaves getting stuck there, even had to stop after the start of a Sportive where we'd started on a freshly mowed grassy park and it was all jammed inbetween my wheel and frame. I found 25mm Continental tyres were slightly better than Mitchelin (more clearance) as the casing was slightly wider and not as 'high'.
Hmmmm... To fix or not to fix... GPS burp at the start of my commute earlier giving me a KOM nobody will ever get back...!
It isn't just a question of brakes and tyres, the distance between the pivot mount and the wheel axle contributes too. You can see in the picture his pads are right at the top of the slots suggesting a 'right' frame or fork
I'm looking to buy the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt Bundle.... wth is a RPM speed sensor for? Surely the cadence sensor would give you rpm and hence RPM speed?
EDIT: Derp derp derp. Thought it was a sensor for your cadence speed. It's just a speed sensor. Are these even necessary when riding with GPS?

Not necessary no. Apps like Strava will just ignore it anyway and use your GPS speed. It can be useful for things like mtbing where GPS can go a bit funny inside the trees.
No not for riding outside, but if you use a dumb turbo trainer then it can be useful
Bit demoralising, too! *Beep* AUTO PAUSED. Yeah? Screw you, Garmin, you want to have a go at it?I've found using GPS for speed can sometimes result in auto-pausing if you are grinding up a tree-covered steep climb. Not the end of the world but can affect your segment time if you're trying to PB!
I have never been going THAT slow that my Garmin auto-pauses.... Possibly because it is not brave enough to unleash such humiliation on me and have itself bounced down the road
It's the treez blocking my signalz, honest!

Back in the day when I used to have a Garmin (
) you could actually adjust the auto-pause speed, I think the default is about 4/5mph? which in a sustained steep grade isn't uncommon. Much slower though and you might as well be walking 
I'll bet you were...
