PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
INTRODUCTION
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 a complicated task which requires training and experience. Do not attempt installation of any component
if you do not have experience and training as a bicycle mechanic. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or
death. Reference should also be made to Barnett’s or some other comprehensive bicycle manual.
WARNING! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this guide will void your warranty, but most importantly may result in damage to the frame or
components which may not be visible. If the frame or any components are damaged, this can result in loss of structural integrity, which may result in serious
personal injury or death. To ensure the best assembly possible and to prevent any damage to the frame and components, follow all torque specifications.
TOOLS REQUIRED
2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6mm Allen keys
3, 4, 5, 6mm socket-style Allen keys
10mm wrench
Torque wrench
High-quality grease
Blue threadlocker (Loctite 242)
Cable and housing cutters
Flathead screwdriver (notched)
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.

CHAPTER 1: FORK / STEM / HANDLEBAR INSTALLATION
1.1 INSTALLING THE FORK INTO THE STEERER TUBE
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.
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.
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.

1.2 INSTALLING THE CARBON AERO HANDLEBAR ON THE AERO STEM
90mm
60mm
SPECIALIZED AERO STEM:
12. Determine the desired stem length (60 or 90mm) 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 position. Changing the stem from the 60mm
to 90mm 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 position.
13. 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 N*m) increments, up to a final torque setting of 80 in-lbf (9.0 N*m), to ensure an even load
distribution to the handlebar.

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.
1.4 INSTALLING THE EXPANDER PLUG AND TOP CAP
17. Install the Specialized 48mm Long Expander Plug
O
into the steerer tube, then torque to 80 in-lbf (9.0 N*m).
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.

CHAPTER 2: HANDLEBAR EXTENSION / RISER INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING THE EXTENSION RISERS
1. Place an extension riser cap nut
A
into the underside of each extension riser cap
B
.
2. Install 4 x riser bolts
C
(M6x20mm length (carbon bar) or M6x30mm (alloy bar), 4mm countersunk Allen hex head).
3. Torque the bolts to 100 in-lbf (11.3 N*m).
5mm 10mm 15mm 20mm 25mm 30mm 35mm 40mm 45mm 50mm
4. Additional extension riser stack height can be achieved (5 to 50mm) by stacking different combinations of riser parts
D
, in increments of 5mm.
Refer to the inset chart for the corresponding bolt length.
* The alloy aero bars are equipped with a total of 10mm (2x5mm) of extension risers per side. Additional parts are available to provide up to 50mm of
extension riser height, in a separate Service Parts Kit. This kit also includes the necessary bolts to achieve the additional 15-50mm of riser height.

3.2 ROUTING THE DERAILLEUR CABLES / WIRES AT THE BOTTOM BRACKET
OPTION A: STANDARD CABLE
Rear derailleur: Route the rear derailleur cable housing through the large hole going into the drive-side chainstay.
TECH TIP: To help guide the rear derailleur cable housing through the chainstay, run a gear cable through the chainstay starting at the
dropout and exiting at the bottom bracket cable guide port. This will help guide the housing through the chainstay and out the dropout.
Front derailleur: Trim the front derailleur cable housing to the appropriate length to insert into the cable noodle, then route the noodle into the non-
drive-side hole going up toward the seat tube. This noodle acts as a cable stop, the cable will be bare leading to the front derailleur.
