There are two things:
1-The come with steel plats that are hard to bite and contributes to problem 2 of the wheel coming out. The plates also come off.
2-The dropouts (not CF issue) are angled such that the wheel will pull out under much torque.
Specialized has been contacted a few times on this and does not respond.
They have had similar issues with the newer Venge and at least recognize it.
