THIS BRIEF USER MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
This user manual is specific to your Specialized Shiv TT. It contains
important safety, performance and technical information, which you should
read before your first ride and keep for reference. You should also read the
entire Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s Manual”), because
it has additional important general information and instructions which
you should follow. If you do not have a copy of the Owner’s Manual, you
can download it at no cost at www.specialized.com, or obtain it from your
nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer or Specialized Rider Care.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specific components
such as seatpost or pedals on your bicycle, or for accessories such as helmets
or lights, may also be available. Make sure that your Authorized Specialized
Retailer has given you all the manufacturers’ literature that was included with
your bicycle or accessories. If there is a difference between the instructions
in this manual and the information provided by the component manufacturer,
please refer to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
When reading this user manual, you will note various important symbols
and warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Many of the
Warnings say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any
fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not
always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the
word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury,
or is an alert against unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in
serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
INFO: This symbol alerts the reader to information which is
particularly important.
GREASE: This symbol means that high quality grease should
be applied as illustrated.
CARBON FRICTION PASTE: This symbol means that carbon
friction paste should be applied as illustrated to increase friction.
TORQUE: This symbol highlights the correct torque value for a
specific bolt. In order to achieve the specified torque value, a
quality torque wrench must be used.
TECH TIP: Tech Tips are useful tips and tricks regarding
installation and use.
INTENDED USE
The Shiv TT is intended and tested for Road Riding only (Condition 1).
For more
information on intended use and structural weight limits, please refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
WARNING! The Specialized carbon components on the Shiv
TT bicycle are designed for a maximum rider weight of 240
lb (109 Kg). Do not ride these components if your weight,
including any gear and accessories you are wearing, exceeds
this weight limit. Failure to follow this warning may result in an
accident, which can cause serious injury or death.
GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service,
repair or maintenance guide. Please see your Authorized Specialized
Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized
Retailer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle
use, service, repair, and maintenance.
The Shiv TT is compatible with wired or wireless electronic shifting systems
only. Mechanical shifting systems are not compatible.
Inspect the fork, stem, seatpost and seat tube, to ensure that there are
no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine grit
sandpaper.
All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be rounded
out to eliminate any stress points.
WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the Shiv TT,
proper assembly requires a high degree of mechanical expertise,
skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential that the
assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an
Authorized Specialized Retailer.
WARNING! Many components on the Shiv TT, including,
but not limited to, the seatpost, headset and cable guides,
are proprietary to the Shiv TT. Only use originally supplied
components and hardware at all times. Use of other
components or hardware may compromise the integrity and
strength of the assembly. Shiv TT specific components should
only be used on the Shiv TT and not on other bicycles, even if
they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or components in any
way. Do not sand, drill, file, or remove parts. Do not install
incompatible forks or components. An improperly modified
frame, fork, or component, can cause you to lose control and
fall.
In order to successfully build the Shiv TT bicycle, it is very
important to follow the order of operations as outlined in this
manual. Modifying the order of assembly will result in a longer
build process. The following are the recommended routing
instructions for Shimano Di2 wiring on the Shiv TT.
Use the Park IR-1 Internal Cable Routing Kit to simplify
installation of shift wires or cable housings and brake
housings.
We may occasionally issue updates and addendums to this document. Please periodically check www.
specialized.com or contact Rider Care to make sure you have the latest information.
