If you cannot see the seatpost tube through the seat tube hole, your seatpost is too far extended. If a
greater saddle height is required, replace the seatpost with a longer one.
NOTE: When running a saddle in a low position, its important to fully compress the rear end of the bicycle
to ensure that the tire doesnt contact the saddle. This is especially important on longer travel bicycles.

RUMOR
Shimano derailleurs are equipped with high-low height adjuster chips. Place the chips in the
position that optimizes the spacing relative to the chainring size.
Enduro 29 models are compatible only with the SRAM A3 MDM front derailleur
(model # 00-7618-017-000 - FD MDM 2x10 38/36 BLK DP).
Epic (non-WC models) are equipped with a fixed frame mount (fig.5), which accepts either a
Shimano or SRAM high mount derailleur.
Carbon Epic models require the additional slotted bracket that goes between the frame and the
frong derailleur (fig.5).

EMT TOOL
The EMT Tool can be mounted two ways:
CAGE-MOUNT
TOOL CRADLE
Install the metal bracket into the Cage-Mount Tool cradle (the round hole goes into the cradle, the oblong hole aligns with the Zee-Cages lower
frame mounting hole).
Align the hole at the base of the Zee-Cage 2 over the hole in the Cage-Mount Tool cradle.
Insert the T-Nut into the Frame Tool cradle from below.
Thread the T-Bolt into the T-Nut. Torque the T-Bolt to 15 in-lbf (1.7 Nm).
Install the EMT tool into the cradle.
NOTE: The EMT Tool with Cage-Mount Tool cradle and Zee-Xage 2 can be installed on many bike models. Some frames are not compatible due to
interference between the frame and the Cage-Mount Tool cradle. Verify that the fit is unobstructed before installation.
Directly into the Frame Tool cradle above the upper shock eye (2014 Epic Carbon frames only)
1
Insert the tool into the cradle from an angle. As the tool slides into position, press the tool upward, making sure the tools external pivot bolts are
above the small retainer bumps (fig.2-A). Ensure that the tool clicks into place at the back, to hold it in snugly.
Press up on the tool as it slides into the cradle until the tool clicks into place.
To remove the tool, apply upward pressure with a finger or two and pull the tool toward the head tube.

NOTE: For optimal performance, Specialized suggests that the rear brake and rear derailleur housings enter the hood scoop on the non-drive-side of the
frame, while the front derailleur and Command Post IR enter the hood scoop on the drive-side of the frame. However, these are only recommendations.
The setup should be done based on the particular needs of the chosen components and rider preferences.
Fig.2: Choose the entry and exit port hood scoops that match the desired component selection (fig.1). Each frame has its own predetermined
selection of hood scoops installed at the factory, with the additional hood scoop options supplied in the parts bag.

Measure out the cable housing lengths for the chosen components (derailleur, Command Post) by running the housings from the handlebar
controls, along the underside of the down tube and to the receiving component. Cut each length of cable housing with an additional few inches to
accommodate changes during the final installation.
TECH TIP: To keep track of the intended component for each cable, mark each cable with a piece of tape for the correct component.
NOTE: Mechanical cable actuated rear brakes can be installed in the same way as derailleur and Command Post cables. Hydraulic brakes are installed
in the opposite direction. Refer to pages 6 and 7 for additional information.
NOTE: If running a Command Post IR, it is recommended to refer to the Command Post IR Adjustable-Height Seatpost Instruction Guide, and complete
the installation of the Command Post IR cable housing before installing any other cable housing.

Fig.5: Install each pre-cut housing over each derailleur cable, and into the entry port holes. Be sure to match the housing lengths to the correct
cables. For hydraulic brakes, do not place any housing over the cable, as v this cable will be used to guide the hydraulic housing from the bottom.
Fig.6: Push the derailleur cable housing(s) through the entry port hole(s) until they become visible at the exit port hole.

Fig.7: Place the correct exit port hood scoop over the derailleur housing(s). Keep the cable intended for the rear brake out of the hood scoop.
Fig.8: Hydraulic brakes: With the hydraulic housing disconnected from the brake lever, install the rear brake caliper on the seatstay brake mount,
then run the housing through the exit port hood scoop brake hole. Tape the housing to the brake cable. Fasten the hood scoop to the frame.

Fig.11: Choose the hood scoops that match the cable choices. Install the correct hood scoop over the appropriate sections of housings. Place the
hood scoops into the entry port holes and fasten the hood scoops to the frame (M4 x 13mm chamfered head bolts).
NOTE: If the bolts are being installed after the hood scoops have been installed on the housings, carefully flex the housings to the side to provide enough
space for the bolt to access the hood scoop bolt hole. Be sure not to damage the housings.
Once the entry and exit port hood scoops have been fastened to the frame, adjust the housing lengths so that each housing reaches its mating
shifter or Command Post (hydraulic brake housing is adjusted later) with enough housing length to allow the handlebar to rotate freely through its
entire range of rotation.
Fig.12: Place the rear derailleur housing section into the chainstay. Pull the housing out of the chainstay at the dropout using a hooked dental pick.

Frame Preparation
CAUTION: Do not face or ream bottom bracket shell! This can possibly 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 the S-Works Carbon crankset.
WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. Any damage may result in a loss of structural
integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may or may not be visible in inspection. Before each ride, and after any
crash, you should carefully inspect your crank for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other
signs of damage. Do not ride if your crank shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle
to an Authorized Specialized Dealer for a complete inspection.

Be sure to press the bearings in straight. Do not force the bearings into the cup. Wipe any last epoxy residue from the outside of the cup.
Once the bearings bottom out in the cups, do not apply any more pressure. Excess force can damage the cups and cause the bearings to spin roughly.
To remove the cups from the frame, pull the bearings out as shown in the Specialized Carbon Crank set Instruction Guide, then lightly tap the backside of the
cups in a circular pattern with a large flat surface. Do not use a screwdriver, as it may damage the cups.
Before installing new cups with new epoxy, remove any excess epoxy lips that may have formed at the inside and outside edges of the cups.
TECH TIP: Any thin epoxy residue that remains on the contact area of the bottom bracket shell should not be removed. This thin film of epoxy residue can
actually benefit the bond of fresh epoxy when installing new cups.
Install the left bearing reducer adapter into the non-drive-side bearing, and
the right bearing reducer adapter into the drive-side bearing. The reducer
adapters should install by hand with a friction fit.
Shimano MTN require no spacers or wave washer.
SRAM GXP MTN cranks require a wave washer and a selection of shims
on the non-drive-side.
Refer to the crank instruction guide for additional installation information.

3. Make sure the rider is wearing all gear that would normally be worn on a ride (shoes, helmet, hydration pack if
used, etc.). Mount the bicycle, prop up against a wall, and sit in the saddle in a normal riding position. Do not
set sag while riding.
4. Press the AUTOSAG valve
(Fox: Air valve. RockShox: Grey button). Air will release as the suspension
settles into its pre-adjusted sag point. Make sure all the air is out and release the valve.
5. Cycle the shock a few times
6. Do not depress the AUTOSAG valve again, otherwise the proper sag setting will be lost, and will require this
procedure to be repeated from step #2.
7. Put the positive air and AUTOSAG valve caps back on.
NOTE: Rider weight in pounds (lb) plus the PSI (depending on model as described above) is the lowest amount of pressure that should be in the shock before
activating AUTOSAG. If the air pressure is too low, the AUTOSAG button may let air out of the negative chamber, which would result in incorrect sag.
NOTE: Sag is measured as the distance between the o-ring and the shock bodys seal, after the riders weight has been applied to the bike, with no
bounce. When AUTOSAG is correctly set, sag should measure approximately (20-30% of stroke, depending on riding/terrain experience, i.e travel).
If the rider is approaching 300lbs, AUTOSAG may not function, and sag may exceed the bikes prescribed amount.

AIR CHARTS
Certain Rumor and Camber, as well as Enduro 26 and 29 models are equipped with shocks which require that the pressure be adjusted with a shock
pump. Please refer to the supplied air chart for the suggested air pressure for the riders weight. Rider weight includes all riding gear (clothing, shoes,
helmet, gloves, hydration pack, etc).

NOTE: See the chart for starting air pressures to dial in the sag. The chart is only a starting point,
actual sag needs to be checked and adjusted on the bike, while riding, and at regular intervals.
Position the blue compression lever in the Open position to allow the shock to sag more
easily. After setting the pressure, push the rubber ring up to the seal, sit on the bike gently,
dismount, and measure sag.

The recommended compression and rebound settings for the DB Air shock are based off a mean rider weight of 150-180 lbs (68-82 Kg). For any weight above or
below this range, it is recommended to adjust the rebound damping settings.
If the air pressure is lower than 125psi, rebound damping should be decreased (sped up). Above 150psi, rebound damping should be increased
(slowed down).
For additional shock setup information, please visit http://ww2.canecreek.com/products/suspension/db-air.
NOTE: Air pressures, rebound and compression settings are suggested starting point recommendations only. They should be adjusted
according to the riders needs for each type of terrain to achieve optimal performance.
NOTE: Not all shock pumps are 100% accurate. To ensure that the sag is set correctly, Specialized recommends that the sag be manually
measured after the shock is pressurized and the shock pump is removed.

Seatpost
Refer to your seatpost owners manual prior to installation. Specialized FSR frames have a 30.9mm or
27.2mm seatpost diameter and require that the seatpost have a tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm or
27.08mm to 27.25mm. Do not grease the inside surface of the carbon seat tube!
Certain Specialized carbon frames use a quick-release seatpost binder. Since the components of this
assembly are in direct contact with carbon fiber, pay special attention to ensure proper tightness for the
seatpost when correctly tightened to specifications.
TECH TIP: Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound (or carbon
paste) between the seat tube and seatpost to increase friction. See your Authorized Specialized
Dealer if you have any questions.
WARNING! Do not extend the seatpost above the minimum insertion line. Extension beyond
the minimum insertion line can result in failure, causing serious injury or death.
WARNING! Do not pull down on down tube derailleur cables to pre-stress the cables. This
can cause damage to the cable guides.
Your Specialized carbon frame does not require any bottom bracket or head tube pre-installation
preparation. All surfaces are already prepared from the factory, with the exception of greasing the bottom
bracket threads (threaded bottom bracket cups) and head set cups. For threaded bottom brackets, it is
acceptable to chase the bottom bracket threads if necessary. Do not face bottom bracket cups.
Bottom bracket
Oversized Bottom Bracket: Please refer to the carbon crank instruction guide (IG0276 - Crankset
- Carbon MTB Crankset) for assembly instructions and compatible tools. For crank compatibility
specifications, please refer to the carbon crank compatibility guide (CG0308 - Bottom Bracket Oversized MTB Bottom Bracket). All documents are available at www.specialized.com.
