Do you know if they were ever sold as a separate part? I contacted Specialized and they didn't tell me much. Just that they don't have them anymore. Can they be removed from the frame? I assume during the manufacturing process, they were inserted in the seat stays after the frame was built. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the seat stays were molded around them. Is there any risk of riding without them? Thanks much.
