What are these?
 

I noticed these two odd lugs? bolts? on the bottom of a Specialized Shiv left side chain stay. What are they for? Thank you.

Two small bolts on bottom of left side chainstay

my guess would be a speed/cadence sensor

Do you have disc breaks on the bike?

No, rim brakes. These two odd features are about a third of the way towards the bottom bracket on the underside of the left chain stay.

I'm with trainman.

I'm with trainman.

External Di2 battery.

yes, definitely a battery mount

any better picture?

My guess is it was for boxing and shipping purposes.

So the guy at my shop says its probably one of two things:


Either its a cover or some sort of mounting parts for disc breaks OR is a Di2 mounting location.

Other than that he has no idea. And he has been working at a Spec shop for 15 years.

Good idea, better pictures. Appreciate the looks. Here are two better photos. Reviewing the accompanying manual, no indication what they are for.

I would contact Specialized.

Well despite me earlier thinking that it was a mount for disc brake versions, the pic's show it way too forward. So now I'm in the speed/cadence sensor camp. Maybe their own SpeedZone sensor. And I guess maybe a Di2 battery, though I can't imagine why there on the newer bikes when they now go so many other places inside frame or bars easier.

Maybe it's a kick stand mount!! <grin>

SOLVED

A friend showed me a pic. It's for the first generation Di2 battery packs as mentioned by others. Thank you all for the info and time.

That was my first thought but then I looked up the model and saw it's a tri bike. Mind you, it has been done.
