    Another standard that seems to have slipped by me- is it correct that this will only fit Specialized frames?

    No a lot of frames now come with this.

    Pretty standard on every 6″ travel AM bike these days.

    Really? 142+, not 142. Who else is using it?

    I think the + is a Spesh only thing.

    142×12 or something different?

    142+ is just about the distance between the hub flanges. Everything else is the same and would fit any frame with a 142 rear.

    Ok, thanks, but just trying to confirm whether the wheels will or won’t fit a normal 142 frame.

    I wasn’t convinced 142+ wheels wound work with a 142 frame. I think 142 wheels will work with a 142+ frame – but google it, I found the info a few weeks ago.

    Normal 142mm wheels will work with any 142 frame including Specialized 142+. Specialized 142+ wheels won’t work in any frame except Specialized 142+ frame. I guess the small sprocket will mush against the frame. Nice work, Specialized.

    cheers Jon, just found that doc on the Specialized site as well. So. looks like the endcap on the drive side is 2mm shorter on the +, so won’t fit.

    Seeing as Spesh wheels are utter tosh this should not cause to many issues for people
    142+ Spesh frames are just fine with any 142 wheel set

    I take it “142+” is to accommodate a bastardised capreo cassette for the works demos and such like?

    well there goes Specialized down the same path as Scott Sh*te, Oh look my proprietary part has broken on a week long holiday, guess I’ll need a new bike or go home then…

    didn’t realise this, my Epic 29er came with a 142+ hub, which fell apart after not very long, replaced under warranty with an Shimano XT 142 hub,
