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 handlebars, and the
stem, are proprietary to the Shiv. Only use originally supplied components and hardware at all
times. Use of other components or hardware will 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. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not face or ream the bottom bracket shell! This can 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 OSBB/BB30 compatible crankset. Please refer to the manufacturer
instructions for crank and bottom bracket installation.
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.
BOLT SIZE / 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:
LOCATION Allen Key Spec Torque (in-lbf) Torque (Nm)
Stem @ steerer tube 4mm 45 5.1
Stem @ handlebar 4mm 45 5.1
Expander plug 6mm 80 9.0
Risers @ handlebar 4mm 80 9.0
Extension mount @ extension 4mm 40 4.5
Extension mount @ pad holder 4mm 40 4.5
Bottom bracket door 4mm 25 2.8
Control Tower 4mm 25 2.8
Brake mounting bolts 5mm 70 7.9
Brake cable pinch bolt 4mm 55 6.2
Brake pad 4mm 43 4.9
Saddle rail clamp 5mm 120 13.5
Seat collar 4mm 45 5.1
CAUTION: Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and bolt threads are greased or have a
threadlocking compound (refer to the instructions for each bolt) prior to installation.
