VENGE INSTRUCTION GUIDE
IMPORTANT:
This instruction guide contains important safety, performance and service information. Read it
before you take the first ride on your new Venge ViAS, and keep it for reference. This instruction
guide should be used in conjunction with the
Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s
Manual”). Please read the Owner’s Manual in its entirety before you proceed with assembly
and your first ride. 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
suspension 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. In case of a conflict
between the instructions in this instruction guide and information provided by a component
manufacturer, always follow the component manufacturer’s instructions.
This guide is not intended as a comprehensive 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.
When reading this instruction guide, 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.
