WARNING! Do not extend seat post above the minimum insertion line. Extension beyond the minimum insertion line can result in failure, causing serious injury or death.

WARNING! Do not pull down on downtube derailleur cables to pre-stress the cables. This can cause damage to the cable guides.

Your Specialized frame does not require any Bottom Bracket or Head Tube pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are already prepared from the factory, with the exception of greasing the bottom bracket threads and head set cups. It is acceptable to chase the bottom bracket threads if necessary. Do not face bottom bracket cups.

BOTTOM BRACKET

Ensure that the Bottom Bracket shell threads are clean and greased prior to installation. Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 N-m).

HEADSET INSTALLATION / REMOVAL

Specialized mountain carbon frames use 48mm Campagnolo Standard compatible bearings. Ensure that replacement bearings are compatible with the Specialized headset specification. No tools are needed for installation or removal of Campagnolo Standard bearings. Grease bearing surfaces before installation.

COMPONENT TORQUE SETTINGS

Front derailleur: Recommended torque is 44 in-lbf (5.0 N-m).

Rear derailleur: Recommended torque for the rear derailleur is 70 in-lbf (7.9 N-m). Ensure that threads are clean prior to installation.

• Seat collar: Recommended torque is 45 in-lbf (5.1 N-m).

 

• Water Bottle Cage: Recommended torque is 35 in-lbf (4.0 N-m). To avoid damage to

 

the bottle cage frame rivets, ensure that the cage doesn’t flex around the front derailleur

 

clamp. If the cage doesn’t clear the clamp, use longer bolts and spacers to help the cage

 

clear the derailleur clamp.

 

WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or compos-

 

ite materials, including the frame and any carbon fiber or composite compo-

 

nents. Any damage may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may result

 

in a catastrophic failure. This damage may or may not be visible in inspection.

 

Before each ride, and after any crash, you should carefully inspect your bicycle

 

for any dents, fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping bending,

 

or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle shows any of these

 

signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an
