INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the finest line of suspension bikes available! About Off Road, Stunt, Downhill and Freeriding This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bicycle Owner’s Manual and owner’s manuals supplied by the manufacturer of the front and rear suspension components. If you did not receive any of these manuals, download them from the Internet, contact your Authorized Specialized Dealer, or contact us by telephone.
BIKE SETUP SPECIFICATIONS Seatpost height SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION 1 : To prevent damage to the frame, it’s important to have a minimum amount of seatpost in the seat tube. 1 Carbon frames: Small / Medium - 70mm insertion Large / X-Large - 100mm insertion Aluminum frames: 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.

Tighten the bolt down to adjust headset tension just like a regular top cap. NOTE: In order to ensure a straight installation of the star nut, Specialized recommends the use of the Park Tool TNS-4 Threadless Star Nut Setter.
EMT TOOL The EMT Tool can be mounted two ways: Directly to a Specialized Zee-Cage 2, with the Cage-Mount Tool cradle 1 CAGE-MOUNT TOOL CRADLE 2 Install the metal bracket into the Cage-Mount Tool cradle (the round hole goes into the cradle, the oblong hole aligns with the Zee-Cage’s 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.
SWAT BOX The SWAT Box is compatible only with frames equipped with a 3rd water bottle boss on the downtube (2014 Epic). 1 Insert the T-Nut into the SWAT Box from the inside. Place the Zee-Cage 2 over the SWAT Box and align the hole at the base of the Zee-Cage 2 with the hole in the SWAT box. Torque the T-Bolt to 15 in-lbf (1.7 Nm). 2 Bolt the assembly to the down tube (2 x Specialized low-profile M5 x 16mm water bottle bolts, 1 x recessed M5 x 18mm bolt). Torque the bolts to 25 in-lbf (2.8 Nm).
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING The following Internal Cable Routing (ICR) instructions are for 2014 Epic Carbon and Camber Carbon models only. The ICR system has many different configurations, depending on the choices made regarding brakes, derailleurs and telescoping seatposts (Camber). Fig.1: Decide which component configuration will be installed on the bike. • Rear brake (RED): Internal or external? • Front / Rear derailleur (BLUE): Yes or no? (Epic WC models do not have the option for a front derailleur.
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).
5 6 Rear r derailleu de Fro rai nt ll Re eur Bra ar ke ar ur Re aille r de 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.
11 12 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.
PF30 BOTTOM BRACKET ASSEMBLY This design allows for the installation of Specialized OSBB carbon cranks, or the installation of different adapters to fit a variety of crank offerings. Installing PF30 and PF30DH Bottom Bracket Cups The PF30 design (73x46mm PF30 or 83x46mm PF30DH bottom bracket shell, 42x30x7mm BB30 bearings, Specialized PF30 press-in cups), allow the use of Specialized carbon cranks, or, with the use of Specialized bearing adapters, the use of Shimano cranks or SRAM GXP MTN cranks.
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.
FORK LENGTH SPECIFICATIONS WARNING! Specialized frames are compatible ONLY with forks that have a specific maximum amount of travel (see table below). Use of different styled forks or forks with longer travel may result in catastrophic failure of the frame which may result in serious personal injury or death.

AUTOSAG AIR SHOCK SETUP Certain Epic, Camber, Rumor, Stumpjumper, Safire and Enduro models are equipped with AUTOSAG, a unique new feature designed to simplify and speed up the adjustment of air pressure. The AUTOSAG feature automatically determines the correct amount of sag, and eliminates the need to refer to an air chart to determine the correct pressure based on rider weight. However, the shock still requires compression and rebound adjustment based on type of terrain and rider weight.
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 rider’s weight. Rider weight includes all riding gear (clothing, shoes, helmet, gloves, hydration pack, etc).
COIL SHOCK SETUP Step 1: Adjusting sag Proper sag should be achieved with one turn of preload on the spring. More then two turns of preload will require a higher spring rate or not enough sag will require a softer spring rate. See spring rate chart for additional information or refer to the shock manual.

CARBON FRAME INSTRUCTIONS Specialized carbon frames utilize advanced composite materials that require particular care during assembly, storage and riding. This installation and care guide contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications. Assembling a complete bicycle is a complicated task requiring training and experience, only a trained and experienced bicycle mechanic should install components to this frame.
