Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels size
As for the wheels, Specialized Roubaix Expert Compact 2010, has a 700c carbon model. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Specialized Roubaix Expert Compact is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
There are 6 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 155 cm – 191 cm (5.09 ft – 6.27 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
