5.8. BOTTOM BRACKET
The Diverge STR frames use a 68 mm standard BSA threaded design. Grease the threads.
Install and torque according to the bottom bracket manufacturer’s instructions.
Before installing the bottom bracket and crank, make sure all housings and wires are routed
through the frame.
CAUTION:
Do not face 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 a
compatible crankset. Please refer to the manufacturer instructions for crank
and bottom bracket installation.
CAUTION: Always use a bottom bracket equipped with a sleeve between the
two cups. Running a bottom bracket without the sleeve can result in housings
and/or wires contacting the bottom bracket spindle, which can result in wear.
5.9. INSTALL THE BULKHEAD & DOWN TUBE PROTECTOR
6
FIG. 6
Use a 6 mm L-shaped hex key to guide the bulkhead through the SWAT door opening
into the down tube. Align the bulkhead holes with the down tube holes, then install the
mounting bracket.
Apply grease to the mounting bracket bolt. Using a torque wrench and a 3 mm hex bit,
torque the bolt to 0.8 Nm / 7 in-lbf or until it’s finger tight.
The mounting bracket has two additional holes that can be used to mount a water bottle
cage.
Remove the adhesive backing on the down tube protector, then apply the down tube
protector to the down tube using the mounting bracket as a guide.
