The Specialized Future Shock cartridge, fork and headset are designed as an integrated unit and are only intended for use and compatible with Specialized Diverge
carbon frames. Only use the specified parts when assembling the front end of a Diverge bicycle.
WARNING! The fork steerer tube is pre-cut to the size of the frame. Do not cut the fork, or use a fork that is too short. Ensure that the size written
on the fork matches the size of the frame.

Choose the tall or short stack headset cover (G), then place it over the steerer tube collar. Please note that the published stack/reach geometry is based off the short 0mm cover.
Fig.4:
Install 0-15mm of steerer tube spacers (H) on the cartridge assembly (I), then insert the cartridge assembly into the steerer tube.
WARNING! To ensure proper insertion of the Future Shock cartridge in the steerer tube, do not install more than 15mm of spacers over the 0mm or 15mm headset covers.
Ensure there is no grease between the steerer tube and the cartridge. Grease can cause the cartridge to slip, which can result in a loss of control.
Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound (or carbon paste) between the cartridge and steerer tube to increase friction. See your Authorized
Specialized Retailer if you have any questions.
