INTRODUCTION
This instruction guide contains important safety, performance and service information. Read it before you take the first ride on your new Shiv equipped with
the Specialized Carbon Aerobar with Aerostem or Hydroformed Alloy Aerobar, 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 reading this Instruction Guide. If you do
not have a copy of the Owner’s Manual, you can download it for free at www.specialized.com, or obtain it from your nearest Authorized Specialized Dealer 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 Dealer 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 Dealer for all service, repairs or
maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized Dealer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.
Specialized recommends that installation be performed by an Authorized Specialized Dealer. If you attempt to perform the installation yourself, which
Specialized does not recommend, make sure you possess the appropriate mechanical skill, knowledge, and quality tools to do so. If you have any doubt
regarding your mechanical ability or have any questions, please consult with your Authorized Specialized Dealer.
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.
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.
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important. If too little force is applied, the
fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is applied, and 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.
CAUTION: Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and bolt threads are greased or have a threadlocking compound (refer to the
instructions for each bolt) prior to installation.
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 discovery any cracks, no matter how small, immediately stop riding the part and
have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Dealer.
WARNING! Only use Specialized supplied hardware at all times. Using other hardware may compromise the integrity and strength of the
assembly which may result in damage to the bicycle or its components or in an accident which can cause serious injury or death.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and periodically thereafter, recheck the
tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the aerobar. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this guide:

FRAME PREPARATION
CAUTION: Do not face or ream the bottom bracket shell! This can possibly 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 the S-Works Carbon crankset.
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 a Specialized Authorized Dealer for a complete inspection.
FORK PREPARATION
• Inspect the fork and stem to ensure that there are no burrs or sharp edges
that can damage the surfaces in contact with each other. Remove any burrs or
sharp edges using fine grit sandpaper.
1
External slotted clamp
Internal Wedge
• All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be rounded out to
eliminate any stress points.
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and
alloy surfaces of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges
in the stem or fork can weaken the components.
NOTE: Specialized recommends using an external slotted clamp style stem. Internal wedge clamp style stems can cause damage to the steerer tube if
improperly installed (Fig. 1).
SPECIALIZED BRANDED STEMS:
• Specialized multi-position stems are equipped with a shim and offer a nearcontinuous
surface contact, which helps to evenly distribute loads (Fig. 2).
• Specialized carbon road stems and Barmac Systems have built-in continuous
surface contact, which helps to evenly distribute loads.
• Specialized SL stems with large bore holes are specifically designed in
conjunction with Specialized forks with carbon steerer tubes, to ensure proper
load distribution.
NON-SPECIALIZED BRANDED STEMS:
Specialized recommends against the use of non-Specialized-branded stems with
large bore holes in contact with the steerer tube. Large bore holes reduce the
clamping surface area and may concentrate the load onto the carbon steerer tube
in an unsafe manner.

As we cannot test every combination, Specialized does not warrant the use of non-Specialized branded stems with Specialized forks (carbon steerer tubes) and
Specialized Carbon steerer tube plugs, unless specified as original equipment by Specialized. Specialized hereby disclaims all warranties, including the warranties of
fitness for particular purpose and merchantibility.
SEATPOST PREPARATION
• Remove all burrs and square edges from the seat tube and seatpost surfaces in contact each other. These edges and burrs can dig into the material,
compromising the strength of the carbon. (Fig.2).
• Remove any grease from the internal surface of the seat tube. Composite seatposts are non-metallic, they cannot seize in the seat tube. Applying grease
reduces the friction that is critical to proper seatpost grip.
SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTATION

CHAPTER 1: FORK / STEM / HANDLEBAR INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLING THE FORK INTO THE STEERER TUBE
H
G
F
E
D
C
A
B
Specialized Shiv frames are designed in conjunction with the Specialized aero stem/handlebar combo or a 1 1/8” x 31.8mm standard stem with the Specialized
alloy aero handlebar. The Specialized aero handlebars work specifically with the handlebar risers and extensions to offer the greatest range of position
adjustment.
When using a Specialized aero stem or a Specialized Multi-Position 1 1/8 x 31.8mm stem, Specialized strongly recommends following the specific instructions
below to guarantee the best build possible.
TECH TIP: Before starting the assembly of the bike, install the seatpost in the frame as shown in Chapter 5.
WARNING! When placing the bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the seatpost using a frame clamp specifically designed for thin-wall carbon tubes
(for example, the Park Tools 100-X4 Extreme Range Clamp). Clamping the seatpost with a standard clamp can cause damage to the seatpost
that may or may not be visible. Do not clamp the frame tubes.
TECH TIP: For the initial setup, since the proper height is not yet determined, it is recommended to cut the steerer tube at the highest
position for assembly (2 x 25mm steerer tube spacers), then cut the fork to the desired height once the build is complete and the bike
has been fit to the rider.
TECH TIP: If the intent is to install the Aero stem in the lowest position (without spacers), it is recommended to place a 5mm spacer
above the stem to retain enough steerer tube length in the event that a standard 1 1/8” stem is installed.
1. Install the lower 1 1/8” cartridge bearing A on the steerer tube of the fork.
2. Install the fork B into the head tube C of the Shiv frame and settle the bearing into the base of the head tube.
3. Install the upper 1 1/8” cartridge bearing D on the steerer tube of the fork and settle the bearing into the top of the head tube.
4. Install the bearing compression ring E over the bearing.
5. Install the top cap F over the compression ring.
6. Install 2 x 25mm head tube spacers G onto the steerer tube.
7. Install the stem H that will be used to build the bike onto the steerer tube. This is important to make sure the steerer tube is cut to the correct length.
WARNING! Do not twist the stem onto the carbon steerer tube. This can result in damage to the composite surface, which can render
the fork unsafe.
8. Mark the steerer tube directly above the stem, then remove the fork from the steerer tube. Make a 2nd mark 2mm below the original mark.
9. Place a steerer tube cutting guide tool on the steerer tube, with the guide slot aligned with the 2nd mark. Double-check the measurement, so that
the mark is 2mm below the top of the stem with 2x25mm spacers installed below the stem.
10. Cut the steerer tube (using a carbon cutting blade, or a blade with a minimum 36 teeth) at the cut mark, remove the tool, then remove any burrs from
the top of the steerer using a fine grit sandpaper.
11. Repeat steps 1 through 7.

2. INSTALLING THE CARBON AERO HANDLEBAR ON THE AERO STEM
90mm
J
I
I
60mm
J
SPECIALIZED AERO STEM:
12. Determine the desired stem length of 60 or 90mm (longer 80 / 110mm stem available separately) and install the carbon aero handlebar I along
with the handlebar position wedge J .
TECH TIP: If the stem length is not yet determined, it’s recommended to start at the 90mm (or 110mm) position. Changing the stem from the
60mm to 90mm (or 80mm to 110mm) position will require that the cable housings be replaced with longer ones to accommodate the additional
stem length. It’s easier to trim cable housings to a shorter length if adjusting from the 90mm to the 60mm (or 110mm to 80mm) position.
L
K
13. Apply grease to the bolts, then install the stem’s upper section K and four bolts L (M6x32mm, 4mm countersunk Allen hex head).
14. Alternate the torque to the stem bolts in 5 in-lbf (0.6 Nm) increments, up to a final torque setting of 80 in-lbf (9.0 Nm), to ensure an even load
distribution to the handlebar.

3. INSTALLING THE ALLOY HANDLEBAR WITH A STANDARD 31.8MM STEM
M
N
STANDARD 31.8MM STEM:
15. Determine the desired stem M length and angle, then place the Specialized aero handlebar N into the stem.
16. Orient the handlebar position horizontally, then torque the stem faceplate bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
WARNING! Do not grease the interface between the stem and the alloy handlebar. Grease may cause the handlebar to slip, which can
result in a loss of control.
4. INSTALLING THE EXPANDER PLUG AND TOP CAP
Q
P
O
17. Install the Specialized 48mm Long Expander Plug O into the steerer tube, then torque to 80 in-lbf (9.0 Nm).
18. Install the preload top cap P , followed by the bolt with washer Q , then preload the headset bearings to remove any play.
19. Torque the stem bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
WARNING! Carbon fiber steerer tubes require the use of the Long Expander Plug assembly supplied with the fork. Do not use a star nut,
as it can damage the inside surface of the steerer tube. Damage to the steerer tube can result in failure, causing serious personal injury
or death.

CHAPTER 2: HANDLEBAR EXTENSION / RISER INSTALLATION
WARNING! Aerobars are attached to the front of your bicycle, and as a result, proper and secure installation is critical. Improper
installation or adjustment may result in damage to the bicycle or its components or in an accident which can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING! Aerobars can require riding positions that are new or different to many riders, which may cause you to lose control and fall.
Continue to look forward while riding and not down towards the ground. We advise that you practice using these aerobars in a low traffic
area to become accustomed to any changes in the steering or handling of your bicycle.
EXPLODED PARTS VIEW:
1. INSTALLING THE EXTENSION RISERS
These Aerobars can be adjusted in many ways to provide the ideal fit for the rider. Your Authorized Specialized Dealer can help you find that ideal fit. The
Specialized supplied risers allow for a height adjustment of the Aerobars. Use the following Riser Chart to determine the correct bolt length and use of supplied
risers for the corresponding stack height:

10. Place the cable noodle G in the cable noodle guide and trim the cable housing so that it has a smooth path to the cable noodle that’s as short as
possible while still fully seating in the noodle. Make sure it stays fully seated through the entire range of the brake, from closed to open.
3. INSTALLING THE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY
11. Install the rear brake arms, following the same steps as the front brake installation.
TECH TIP: Remove the crank to ease installation and adjustment of the rear brakes.
12. Place the cable noodle in the cable noodle guide and trim the cable housing so that it has a smooth path to the cable noodle that’s as short as
possible while still fully seating in the noodle. Make sure it stays fully seated through the entire range of the brake, from closed to open.

1. Apply grease to the conical surfaces of the clamp mechanism A and install them into the seatpost B .
2. Engage the saddle rails into the slots of the conical portions of the clamp mechanism, then place the outer caps C over the saddle rails.
TECH TIP: The Shiv seatpost can be assembled with outer rail clamps for 7x7 alloy rails or 7x9 carbon rails. Choose the rail clamps that correspond
to the saddle.
NOTE: Ensure that the wedges are parallel to each other. If the wedges are offset relative to each other, they can force the saddle rails
twist, which can result in permanently bent rails and an uneven saddle position.
3. Install the nut D . To avoid damage to the clamp mechanism, the arrows must align to ensure the tab is placed in the groove of the outer cap E .
4. Install the bolt F . Use blue threadlocker (Loctite 242) on the threads, place into the opposite side outer cap and thread into the nut. Tighten lightly.
5. Install the seatpost into the seat tube.

6. Adjust the saddle G to the desired tilt angle and fore-aft position.
7. Torque the seatpost bolt to 120 in-lbf (13.5 Nm).

8. Apply grease to the bolts, then install the seat collar plate H , bolts I (M5x20mm, 4mm Allen hex head) and domed washers J .
9. Adjust the seatpost to the desired height for proper leg extension.
10. Alternate the torque to the seat collar bolts, in 5 in-lbf (0.6 Nm) increments, up to a final torque setting of 45 in-lbf (5.1 Nm) to ensure an even load
distribution to the seatpost. Once complete, the gap between the frame and the seat collar should be equal on both sides.
WARNING! The Shiv is equipped with a minimum insertion sight hole (see figure above). This is the minimum insertion required for the
seatpost and frame to remain structurally safe. All frame sizes require a minimum post insertion of 75mm; the seatpost MUST be visible
through the sight hole.
TECH TIP: The application of carbon assembly compound (fiber paste) can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please visit your
Specialized Authorized Dealer for additional information.

CHAPTER 6: FUELSELAGE INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLING THE FUELSELAGE
The Specialized Fuelselage Integrated Hydration System reservoir is designed to fit exclusively with Specialized Shiv carbon frames, through the top tube port
and into the down tube. The Fuelselage hose can be trimmed to the desired length, and combined with the mouth port magnet and matching magnet loop, the
valve location can be customized to the rider’s ideal location.

1. Fig.1: Thread the hose through the reservoir top cover, the mouth port, then through the hose sleeve.
2. Fig.1: Place the threaded nut onto the hose, below the hose sleeve.
3. Fig.1: Press the hose onto the fitting at the base of the reservoir, then thread the nut onto the fitting.
4. Fig.2: Insert the reservoir into the port in the top tube of the frame. Use the hose to help guide the reservoir into the frame, to prevent bunching.
5. Fig.3: Thread the screw supplied with the Fuelselage into the threaded rivet. The ferromagnetic screw allows the mouth port magnet to function.
6. Fig.3: Place the clip at the front of the mouth port under the lip of the top tube port, then lower the magnetic tip of the mouth port down until the
magnet comes in contact with the screw.

7. Fig.4: Place the magnet loop around the aero extension, on the desired side.
8. Fig.4: Once the rider position and magnet loop position are determined, if the hose is too long, remove the silicone straw and carefully cut the hose
down to the desired length, so that the magnet in the silicone straw lines up with the magnet loop.
9. Fig.5: Fill the reservoir with drinking fluid.
NOTE: Do not fill with alcohol, milk products or hot beverages. Clean out the reservoir regularly with a mild detergent.
