WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation of the seatpost,
refer to the appropriate section in the Owner’s Manual. Riding with an
improperly tightened seatpost can allow the saddle to turn or move and cause
you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame minimum insertion
requirements may result in damage to the frame and/or seatpost, which could
cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Inspect the seatpost and seat tube to ensure that there are
no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine grit
sandpaper.
Do not apply grease to the contact surfaces between the seatpost and the
seat tube. Grease reduces the friction, which is critical to proper seatpost grip.
Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound (fiber
paste), which can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please visit your
Specialized Authorized Retailer for additional information.
2.3. BOTTOM BRACKET
Enduro FSR models have a threaded 73mm width bottom bracket shell and is compatible with
any BSA threaded outboard bearing bottom bracket. Please refer to the crank manufacturer
documentation for bottom bracket compatibility.
CAUTION (CARBON FRAME): Do not face the bottom bracket shell! Chasing
the threads is acceptable if necessary.
2.4. REAR AXLE
Enduro FSR models are equipped with 148mm Boost rear hub spacing and require a 148mm
Boost compatible rear wheel.
2.5. FLIP CHIP
All models are assembled with the Flip Chip in the Low position. Switching to
the High position raises the bottom bracket height by approximately 7mm and
steepens the head tube angle by approximately 0.4 degrees.
Place a rag between the upper link and the seat tube to make sure the link
doesn’t make contact with the seat tube.

3. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The Enduro FSR is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting,
repair and parts replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
For general information regarding maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s
Manual. In addition, routinely perform a mechanical safety check before each ride, as
described in the Owner’s Manual.
„
Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. 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 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
Authorized Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.
