FRAME PREPARATION<br />

CAUTION: Do not face or ream the bottom bracket shell! This can possibly prevent proper installation of the crank. Your Specialized<br />

frame does not require any bottom bracket shell pre-installation preparation, as all surfaces have been precisely machined to specific<br />

tolerances at the factory for proper interface with the S-Works Carbon crankset.<br />

WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. Any damage may result in a loss of structural<br />

integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may or may not be visible in inspection. Before each ride, and after any<br />

crash, you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other<br />

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<br />

to a Specialized Authorized Dealer for a complete inspection.<br />

FORK PREPARATION<br />

• Inspect the fork and stem to ensure that there are no burrs or sharp edges<br />

that can damage the surfaces in contact with each other. Remove any burrs or<br />

sharp edges using fine grit sandpaper.<br />

Internal Wedge<br />

• All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be rounded out to<br />

eliminate any stress points.<br />

WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and<br />

alloy surfaces of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges<br />

in the stem or fork can weaken the components.<br />

NOTE: Specialized recommends using an external slotted clamp style stem. Internal wedge clamp style stems can cause damage to the steerer tube if<br />

improperly installed (Fig. 1).<br />

SPECIALIZED BRANDED STEMS:<br />

• Specialized multi-position stems are equipped with a shim and offer a nearcontinuous<br />

surface contact, which helps to evenly distribute loads (Fig. 2).<br />

• Specialized carbon road stems and Barmac Systems have built-in continuous<br />

surface contact, which helps to evenly distribute loads.<br />

• Specialized SL stems with large bore holes are specifically designed in<br />

conjunction with Specialized forks with carbon steerer tubes, to ensure proper<br />

load distribution.<br />

NON-SPECIALIZED BRANDED STEMS:<br />

Specialized recommends against the use of non-Specialized-branded stems with<br />

large bore holes in contact with the steerer tube. Large bore holes reduce the<br />

clamping surface area and may concentrate the load onto the carbon steerer tube<br />

in an unsafe manner.<br />

As we cannot test every combination, Specialized does not warrant the use of non-Specialized branded stems with Specialized forks (carbon steerer tubes) and<br />

Specialized Carbon steerer tube plugs, unless specified as original equipment by Specialized. Specialized hereby disclaims all warranties, including the warranties of<br />

fitness for particular purpose and merchantibility.<br />

SEATPOST PREPARATION<br />

• 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,<br />

compromising the strength of the carbon. (Fig.2).<br />

• 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<br />

reduces the friction that is critical to proper seatpost grip.<br />
