CARBON FRAME INSTRUCTIONS
Specialized carbon frames utilize advanced composite materials that require particular care during assembly, storage and riding. This installation and
care guide contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications. Assembling a complete bicycle is a complicated task requiring training and
experience, only a trained and experienced bicycle mechanic should install components to this frame. Reference should also be made to Barnett’s or
some other comprehensive bicycle manual.
WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may result in a catastrophic failure of the frame and/or its components while riding, which
may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING! Bicycle assembly is an art which requires training and experience. Do not attempt installation of any component if you do
not have experience and training as a bicycle mechanic.
To ensure the best assembly possible and to prevent any damage to the components or frame, follow all torque specifications. Please refer to the
specific owner’s manuals for each mating component’s correct torque specifications. If the mating component’s recommended torque exceeds the
frame’s recommended torque, use the lower torque specification. Due to torque considerations, not all components will be compatible.
WARNING! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this installation guide will void your warranty, but most importantly may result
in damage to the frame which may not be visible. If the frame is damaged, this can result in loss of structural integrity.
Bicycle components such as a handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost, saddle, brakes, must be mutually compatible with each other, as well as the frame
and the intended use. Any doubt regarding compatibility should be discussed with your local Authorized Specialized Dealer.
WARNING! When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the
frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible, which may impair the structural integrity of the frame.
WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite materials, including the frame and any carbon fiber or
composite components. 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 dents,
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 Dealer for a complete
inspection.
Seatpost
Refer to your seatpost owner’s manual prior to installation. Specialized FSR frames have a 30.9mm or
27.2mm seatpost diameter and require that the seatpost have a tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm or
27.08mm to 27.25mm. Do not grease the inside surface of the carbon seat tube!
Certain Specialized carbon frames use a quick-release seatpost binder. Since the components of this
assembly are in direct contact with carbon fiber, pay special attention to ensure proper tightness for the
seatpost when correctly tightened to specifications.
TECH TIP: Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound (or carbon
paste) between the seat tube and seatpost to increase friction. See your Authorized Specialized
Dealer if you have any questions.
WARNING! Do not extend the seatpost above the minimum insertion line. Extension beyond
the minimum insertion line can result in failure, causing serious injury or death.
WARNING! Do not pull down on down tube derailleur cables to pre-stress the cables. This
can cause damage to the cable guides.
Your Specialized carbon frame does not require any bottom bracket or head tube pre-installation
preparation. All surfaces are already prepared from the factory, with the exception of greasing the bottom
bracket threads (threaded bottom bracket cups) and head set cups. For threaded bottom brackets, it is
acceptable to chase the bottom bracket threads if necessary. Do not face bottom bracket cups.
Bottom bracket
Oversized Bottom Bracket: Please refer to the carbon crank instruction guide (IG0276 - Crankset
- Carbon MTB Crankset) for assembly instructions and compatible tools. For crank compatibility
specifications, please refer to the carbon crank compatibility guide (CG0308 - Bottom Bracket -
Oversized MTB Bottom Bracket). All documents are available at www.specialized.com.
Headset installation / removal
Specialized carbon frames use a 1 1/8” (41.8mm x 8mm x 45°) Campagnolo Standard compatible
top and 1.5” (52mm x 7mm x 45°) bottom bearing, except Demo frames which use a 1.5” diameter
headset, top and bottom. Ensure that replacement bearings are compatible with the Specialized headset
specification. No tools are needed for installation or removal of both bearings. Grease bearing surfaces before installation.
