BICYCLE/FRAME INSTRUCTION GUIDE  
TARMAC/ROUBAIX/RUBY - COMP/ELITE  
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.  
The seat post is marked with a minimum insertion line, which is the  
minimum insertion required for the seat post to remain structurally safe.  
WARNING! Do not extend seat post above the minimum inser-  
tion line. Extension beyond the minimum insertion line can  
result in failure.  
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.  
HEADSET  
Your Specialized frame does not require any head tube

Campy  
pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are already  
prepared from the factory, with the exception of  
greasing the cups.  
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.

TARMAC: Use 42mm Campagnolo Standard compatible  
bearings. No tools are required for installation / removal  
of 42mm Campagnolo Standard MindSet bearings.

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.  
ROUBAIX/RUBY: Use only Specialized 4mm MindSet  
bearing/cups. The bearing and cup are an integrated  
assembly specifically designed to fit Specialized frames  
using the MindSet Integrated Headset.  
INSTALLATION: Grease cups! Press the bearings in  
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.

2. Compression ring  
3. Bearing seal  
4. Bearing  
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  
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.  
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.

SEAT POST / SADDLE INSTALLATION  
Refer to your seat post installation guide prior to installation.  
Specialized road frames have a 27.2mm seat post diameter and require  
that the seat post have a tolerance of 27.08mm to 27.25mm.  
The Tarmac, Roubaix and Ruby Elite/Comp frames use a seat post  
collar specifically designed for these frames. Use of a different collar  
can cause damage to the frame or seatpost, resulting in failure (see  
fig.1 for proper setup).  
Ensure that the bottom bracket shell threads are clean  
and greased prior to installation.  
Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 N-m).  
COMPONENT TORQUE SETTINGS  
• Front derailleur: Recommended torque is 44 in-lbf (5.0 N-m).  
Tighten seat collar bolt to recommended torque of 55 in-lbf (6.2 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.

from frame slot  
• Seat collar: Recommended torque is 55 in-lbf (6.2 N-m).  
FRAME SLOT  
27.2mm  
• 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.  
Grease bolt threads  
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:  
55 in-lbf (6.2 N-m)  
CHAMFER SEAT TUBE EDGES  
• Full radius of top edge  
• Along full length of frame slot  
• SEAT TUBE I.D.  
• SEAT POST O.D.
