Disc Cover - Roval Rapide CLX 60 / 11-Speed Hub

Hi All - I am looking for a disc cover that is compatible with a Roval Rapide CLX 60, 11-speed hub / Di2. I wrote wheelbuilld.com and got the following response:

>> I don't see any issues with the Roval Rapide wheel.

>> With the 11-speed though, the chain might rub on the largest cog of the cassette.

>> There are no known issues with the Shiv frame.

I'm not interested in a solution where my chain is rubbing the dic... anyone have suggestions for me?

Thank you!

    Far as I know, no one else is going to give you a different answer or make a wheelcover that fits better.   11 speed is 11 speed.        

     Mild rubbing on the easiest gear is not a significant issue.    i am guessing less than 1 watt of drag.

    I get mild rubbing with a disc cover on my shiv in the largest cog and it's not noticeable.

    I will measure tonight to check the 5mm requirement... do you guys recommend going with the cover then?

    My wife's bike had a similar issue with the wheel cover. My local mechanic and I came up with a solution involving lacing zip ties around spokes and through the wheel cover to cinch it in closer. Works great, but takes longer to assemble/disassemble. image

    The issue is not the chain rubbing on the disc cover. I was going to post a picture of my disc, but it shows the same as Ian's - the scratch marks are due to the derailleur pulley cage ever so slightly touching the cover. I can't even hear it while I ride on my  11 speed 11-32 rear cog, and certainly don;t think it affects performance.
