WARNING! Bicycle assembly is an art which requires training and experience. Do not attempt installation of any component if you do not have experience and training as a bicycle mechanic. To ensure the best assembly possible and to prevent any damage to the components or frame, follow all torque specifications. Please refer to the specific owner’s manuals for mating component’s correct torque specifications. If the mating component’s recommended torque exceeds the frame’s recommended torque, use the lower torque spec. Due to torque considerations, not all components will be compatible. WARNING! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this installation guide will void your warranty, but most importantly may result in damage to the frame which may not be visible. If the frame is damaged, this can result in loss of structural integrity. • SEAT TUBE I.D. • SEAT POST O.D. GREASERecommended Torque: 45 in-lbf (5.1 N-m) 36.9mm Bicycle components such as a handlebar, handlebar stem, seat post, saddle, brakes, must be mutually compatible with each other, as well as the frame and the intended use. Any doubt regarding compatibility should be discussed with your local authorized Specialized retailer. WARNING! When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the seat post and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible, which may impair the structural integrity of the frame. SEAT POST Refer to your seat post owner’s manual prior to installation. Specialized Mountain frames have a 30.9mm seat post diameter and require that the seat post have a tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm. Do not grease inside surface of carbon seat tube! The Epic Carbon frame uses a bolt-style seat post clamping mechanism. Since the components of this assembly are in direct contact with carbon fiber, pay special attention to ensure proper tightness for the seat post when correctly tightened to specifications. Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound between the seat tube and post to increase friction. Recommended compounds can be found at See your authorized Specialized retailer if you have any questions. WARNING! Do not extend seat post above the minimum insertion line. Extension beyond the minimum insertion line can result in failure, causing serious injury or death. WARNING! Do not pull down on downtube derailleur cables to pre-stress the cables. This can cause damage to the cable guides. Your Specialized frame does not require any Bottom Bracket or Head Tube pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are already prepared from the factory, with the exception of greasing the bottom bracket threads and head set cups. It is acceptable to chase the bottom bracket threads if necessary. Do not face bottom bracket cups. BOTTOM BRACKET Threaded Bottom Brackets: Ensure that the Bottom Bracket shell threads are clean and greased prior to installation. Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 N-m). Oversized Specialized Bottom Brackets: Refer to the S-Works Carbon Mountain Crank Installation Guide for additional information. HEADSET INSTALLATION / REMOVAL Specialized Epic carbon frames use a 48mm Campagnolo Standard compatible upper cartridge bearing and a standard 1.5” lower cartridge bearing. Ensure that replacement bearings are compatible with the Specialized headset specification. No tools are needed for installation or removal of the bearings. Grease bearing surfaces before installation. COMPONENT TORQUE SETTINGS • Front derailleur: Recommended torque is 44 in-lbf (5.0 N-m). • Rear derailleur: Recommended torque for the rear derailleur is 70 in-lbf (7.9 N-m). Ensure that threads are clean prior to installation. • Seat collar: Recommended torque is 45 in-lbf (5.1 N-m). • Water Bottle Cage: Recommended torque is 35 in-lbf (4.0 N-m). WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite materials, including the frame and any carbon fiber or composite components. 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 dents, 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 an authorized Specialized retailer for a complete inspection.
