5.7. Bottom bracket
All Epic WC models have a threaded 73 mm width bottom bracket shell and
are compatible with any BSA threaded outboard bearing bottom bracket.
Please refer to the crank manufacturer documentation for bottom bracket
compatibility.
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 crank spindle,
which can result in wear.
5.8. Installing the derailleur hanger
The rear derailleur hanger comes installed on the frame from the factory.
The following instructions are included in the event you need to replace a
damaged derailleur hanger.
Install the UDH into the frame dropout rotating it forward until it’s
completely seated in the hanger pocket or contacts the rotational stop
tab.
The hanger must be completely seated in the hanger pocket or
against the frame stop tab when tightened to the specified torque.
