Have you ever heard of any problems with the plastic suspension bits
disintegrating or breaking after a long time? Thanks!

Zerts? I didn't think those were used on the Tarmac -- just the Roubaix,
Ruby and Diverge. After 13 years, I would think the Zerts are inert. I
couldn't imagine how they would fall out.

My Tarmac Elite 2010 had them. My Tarmac Pro 2014 doesn’t. Both were
Specialized, no the S-Works models. I have a friend with a Roubaix and a
couple with Rubys. All have zertz inserts. Never heard of one falling out
or deteriorating.

Spec frames have lifetime warranty which would cover that but only for the
original owner.
