WARNING! Specialized frames are compatible ONLY with forks
that have a specific range of travel. The use of different styled
forks or forks with longer travel may result in catastrophic failure
of the frame, which may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING! While the frame is generally compatible with tires
up to 29 x 2.4 in, tire dimensions can vary depending on the
manufacturer, and not all forks are designed to accept a larger
tire. Always check with the fork manufacturer regarding required
clearances.
Tire sizes vary significantly from brand to brand. CEN standards
require a minimum of 6 mm of clearance between the frame/fork
and the tires. When choosing a wheel and tire combo, factor in
enough clearance for the conditions, setup, and wheel flex.
CAUTION: Certain chainrings may not have adequate clearance
with the chainstay. Verify spacing and chainline before using it.
4.2. BOLT SIZE / TOOLS / TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
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, an 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.
CAUTION: Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and
bolt threads are greased and thread locker is applied, as per
instruction, prior to installation.
For all non-Specialized components, please refer to the
manufacturer’s manuals for tools and torque settings.
Repeated installation and removal of bolts may reduce the
effectiveness of the pre-applied threadlocker. In this case, it can
be replaced with the application of blue Loctite.
