BICYCLE/FRAME INSTRUCTION GUIDE  
S-WORKS CARBON HARDTAIL  
THIS BRIEF INSTALLATION GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.  
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.  
Congratulations! The Specialized bicycle you have chosen is among  
the finest of advanced composite products available in cycling.  
Carbon fiber is a very special material that requires particular care  
during assembly, storage and riding. This short form installation guide  
contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications.  
WARNING! Do not extend seat post above the minimum inser-  
tion line. Extension beyond the minimum insertion line can  
result in failure.  
HEADSET  
Your Specialized frame does not require any head tube  
pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are already  
prepared from the factory, with the exception of  
greasing the cups.

Please read the following instructions. If you have any doubt regarding  
your mechanical ability and/or installation of this product, visit your  
local authorized dealer. Specialized recommends that components be  
installed on the frame using a torque wrench, by a qualified mechanic.

2008: Use 48mm Campagnolo Standard compatible  
bearings. No tools are required for installation / removal  
of 48mm Campagnolo Standard MindSet bearings.  
Please read the following Warnings. Because the failure to follow any  
Warning may result in a catastrophic failure of the frame, resulting in  
serious personal injury or death, this phrase may not be repeated in  
connection with each Warning.

2006/2007: Use only Specialized 46mm MindSet  
bearing/cups. The bearing and cup are an integrated  
assembly specifically designed to fit Specialized frames  
using the MindSet Integrated Headset.  
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 manual 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.  
INSTALLATION: Grease cups! Press the bearings in  
1. Cone spacer/cap  
2. Compression ring  
3. Bearing seal  
4. Bearing  
using the Specialized Integrated Headset Press Tool  
(9895-3045). This tool is compatible with the Park  
Headset Press and applies even pressure to the outer  
surface of the bearing to prevent damage.  
WARNING! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this  
installation guide will void the 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, which may result in serious personal injury or death.  
5. Crown race  
REMOVAL: Use a standard headset cup removal tool.  
Make sure the tool is evenly engaging the cup of the  
bearing before removal, and not against the head tube  
bearing inserts that are bonded into the frame.  
Bicycle components such as a handlebar, handlebar stem, seat post,  
saddle, brakes, all must be compatible with each other, the frame  
and the intended use. Any doubt regarding compatibility should be  
discussed with your local authorized Specialized retailer.  
BOTTOM BRACKET  
Your Specialized frame does not require any bottom  
bracket pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are  
already prepared from the factory, with the exception  
of greasing the threads. It is acceptable to chase  
the threads if applicable and necessary. Do not face  
bottom bracket cups.

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.  
SEAT POST / SADDLE INSTALLATION  
Refer to your seat post installation guide prior to installation.  
Ensure that the bottom bracket shell threads are clean and greased prior  
to installation. Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 N-m).  
Specialized moutain bike frames have a 30.9mm seat post diameter and  
require that the seat post have a tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm.  
Specialized seat post collars are specifically designed for Specialized  
carbon frames. Use of a different collar can cause damage to the  
frame or seatpost, resulting in failure (see fig.1 for proper setup).  
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.  
Tighten seat collar bolt to recommended torque of 45 in-lbf (5.1 N-m).  
• 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).  
To avoid damage to the bottle cage frame rivets, ensure that  
the cage doesn’t flex around the front derailleur clamp. If the cage  
doesn’t clear the clamp, use longer bolts and spacers to help the  
cage clear the derailleur clamp.  
• SEAT TUBE I.D.  
• SEAT POST O.D.  
36.9mm  
WARNING! Do not pull down on downtube derailleur cables  
to pre-stress the cables. This can cause damage to the cable  
guides.  
WARNING! Great care should be taken not to damage composite  
materials, including the frame and any composite components.  
Any damage may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may  
result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may not be visible in  
inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash, carefully inspect  
the bicycle for and dents, fraying, gouging, scratches through the  
paint, chipping, bending or any other signs of damage. Do not  
ride if the bicycle shows any signs of these signs. After any crash,  
and before riding any further, take the bicycle to an authorized  
Specialized retailer for a complete inspection.  
Recommended Torque:  
45 in-lbf (5.1 N-m)  
WARNING! Do not grease the seat tube surface that contacts  
the seat post. Grease reduces the friction that is critical to  
proper seat post grip. Remove any grease from the surfaces  
of the seat tube and seat post.  
WARRANTY  
For the complete warranty provisions and any additional information,  
TECH TIP: Specialized recommends the application of carbon  
assembly compound between the seat tube and post to increase  
See your authorized Specialized retailer if you have any questions.
