Please ensure you read the description here and fully understand what is included. This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover can be paired with various other MagCAD or OEM Specialized items to complete your Allez Sprint assembly. Different combinations will be pictured for reference but only the bearing cover is supplied in this listing.
The Specialized Tarmac SL7 stem, OEM stem cover and OEM spacers are pictured for reference only and not included.
Overview
This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover allows you to mount the Specialized Tarmac SL7 stem and SL7 spacers to your compatible Specialized Allez Sprint (2022-2025) road bike.
The Tarmac SL7 stem has been continued with the launch of the Tarmac SL8 and supports semi-integrated cable routing and direct computer mounts. This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover improves the aesthetics and integration between cockpit and frame when fitting the Tarmac SL7 stem (not supplied) and OEM spacers (not supplied) to your Allez Sprint.
Please note: This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover is simply the transition from Allez Sprint frame to Tarmac SL7 spacer. The Tarmac SL7 spacers are not supplied here but can be sourced from Specialized directly, as part of the Tarmac SL7 spacer kit (code: S202500009).
This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover can also be paired with the MagCAD Roval Rapide Specialized Tarmac SL7 Headset Spacer or the MagCAD Roval Rapide Specialized Tarmac SL7 Headset Kit - Short, allowing you to mount the new Roval Rapide integrated cockpit.
This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover supports both electronic and mechanical groupset cable routing, either 2x or 1x setups, in exactly the same way as the existing Specialized Tarmac SL7 setup. Mechanical gear cables enter the Top Bearing Cover outside the spacer assembly which helps maintain smooth cable routing and reduces cable friction. Small 3D printed plugs are supplied to blank either hole, if not required, and prevent dirt/water ingress.
Application
All MagCAD headset parts are 3D printed in a durable Nylon to ensure they are robust to many years of use. As with any steering related components they should be installed by a competent mechanic and inspected regularly. Incorrect assembly or mis-use may result in damage to the headset components and/or injury.
Particular care should be taken to ensure the internal cable routing is installed correctly and checked periodically.
This MagCAD Top Bearing Cover has a stack height of 13.2mm. With the Specialized Tarmac SL7 stem (not supplied) having a clamp height of 31mm and the OEM Tarmac SL7 top spacer (not supplied) having a height of 4mm the minimum assembly stack height is 48.2mm. Allowing for the 3mm steerer tube cut specified by Specialized you will therefore require a minimum 45.2mm of fork steerer, measured from the top bearing split compression ring to the top of the steerer.
The 3D printed plugs are supplied to blank either gear outlet, if not required, and prevent dirt/water ingress. These plugs should be Super Glued (not supplied) in place once the setup has been determined and before the first ride.
Please note: The 3D printed plugs must be fixed in position with a product such as Super Glue (not supplied) before use.

- Specialized Tarmac SL7/SL8 alloy stem.
- Specialized Allez Sprint (2022-2025) road bike.
