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 />

External slotted clamp<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 />
