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.
CAUTION: Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and bolt threads are
greased or have a threadlocker compound (refer to the instructions for each
bolt) prior to installation.
The following tools are required for installation of this product:

3. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The CruX 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.
„
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, see signs of excessive wear, discover any
cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding the
bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
„
Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as
use, rider weight, riding conditions and/or impacts.
„
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the
winter), can result in galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and
bolts, which can accelerate wear and shorten the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear
of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be cleaned before each ride.
The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer,
which means it should be cleaned, lubricated, and (partially) disassembled and inspected
for signs of corrosion and/or cracks . If you notice any signs of corrosion or cracking on the
frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.
„
Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s
instructions.
„
Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden
hose can penetrate bearing seals and crank interfaces, which can result in increased
bearing and crank wear, which can affect the normal function of the bearings. Use a clean,
damp cloth and bicycle cleaning agents for cleaning.
„
Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a car
parked in the sun or near a heat source such as a radiator.
