GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING AND MAINTENANCE

The Venge ViAS is a high performance bicycle that requires regular maintenance by your 
Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general information regarding maintenance of your bicycle, 
please refer to section 5 of the Owner’s Manual. In addition, routinely perform the Mechanical 
Safety Check described in section 1.C of the Owner’s Manual before each ride.

CAUTION: While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a 

problem with one or more components. Periodically examine all surfaces in 

bright sunlight to check for any small hairline cracks or fatigue at stress points, 

such as welds, seams, holes, and points of contact with other parts. If you hear 

any creaks or discover any cracks, no matter how small, immediately stop 

riding the part and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

WARNING! 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.

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.
