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.
WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the Venge ViAS Disc, 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 Venge ViAS, including, but not limited to, the handlebars and
the stem, are proprietary to the Venge ViAS. Only use originally supplied components and hardware
at all times. Use of other components or hardware will compromise the integrity and strength of the
assembly. Venge ViAS specific components should only be used on the Venge ViAS and not on other
bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not face or ream the bottom bracket shell! This can prevent proper installation
of the crank. Your Specialized frame does not require any bottom bracket shell pre-installation
preparation, as all surfaces have been precisely machined to specific tolerances at the factory
for proper interface with OSBB/BB30 compatible crankset. Please refer to the manufacturer
instructions for crank and bottom bracket installation.
In order to successfully build the Venge ViAS Disc 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.
BOLT SIZE / TOOLS / TORQUE SPECS
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important
for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is
applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and
consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the
components. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this manual:
