THIS BRIEF USER MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT
INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A
SAFE PLACE.
This user manual is specific to your Specialized Shiv. It contains important
safety, performance and technical information, which you should read
before your first ride and keep for reference. You should also read the entire
Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s Manual”), because it has
additional important general information and instructions which you should
follow. If you do not have a copy of the Owner’s Manual, you can download
it at no cost at www.specialized.com, or obtain it from your nearest
Authorized Specialized Retailer or Specialized Rider Care.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specific
components such as seatpost or pedals on your bicycle, or for accessories
such as helmets or lights, may also be available. Make sure that your
Authorized Specialized Retailer has given you all the manufacturers’
literature that was included with your bicycle or accessories. If there is a
difference between the instructions in this manual and the information
provided by the component manufacturer, please refer to your Authorized
Specialized Retailer.
When reading this user manual, you will note various important symbols
and warnings, which are explained below:
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.
CARBON FRICTION PASTE: This symbol means that carbon
friction paste should be applied as illustrated to increase
friction.
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.
INTENDED USE
The Shiv is intended and tested for Road Riding only (Condition 1).
For more
information on intended use and structural weight limits, please refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
WARNING! The Specialized carbon components on the Shiv
bicycle are designed for a maximum rider weight of 240
lb (109 Kg). Do not ride these components if your weight,
including any gear and accessories you are wearing, exceeds
this weight limit. Failure to follow this warning may result in an
accident, which can cause serious injury or death.
GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service,
repair or maintenance guide. Please see your Authorized Specialized
Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized
Retailer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle
use, service, repair, and maintenance.
WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the Shiv,
proper assembly requires a high degree of mechanical expertise,
skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential that the
assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an
Authorized Specialized Retailer.
WARNING! Many components on the Shiv, including, but not
limited to, the seatpost, headset and cockpit components, are
proprietary to the Shiv. Only use originally supplied components
and hardware at all times. Use of other components or
hardware may compromise the integrity and strength of the
assembly. Shiv specific components should only be used on the
Shiv and not on other bicycles, even if they fit.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or components in any
way. Do not sand, drill, file, or remove parts. Do not install
incompatible forks or components. An improperly modified
frame, fork, or component, can cause you to lose control and fall.
In order to successfully build the Shiv bicycle, it is very
important to follow the order of operations as outlined in this
manual. Modifying the order of assembly will result in a longer
build process.
TOOLS / TORQUE SPECS
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts,
screws) on your bicycle is important for your safety. If too
little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If
too much force is applied, 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.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to
specification. After your first ride, and consistently thereafter,
recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment
of the components. The following is a summary of torque
specifications in this manual:
