BICYCLE/FRAME INSTRUCTION GUIDE
TARMAC/ROUBAIX/RUBY/SW TRICROSS/SIRRUS LTD - EXPERT/PRO/S-WORKS SL
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Expert/Pro/S-Works SL 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).
Tighten seat collar bolt to recommended torque of 55 in-lbf (6.2 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.

Rev.1, May 2007
THIS BRIEF INSTALLATION GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
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.
WARRANTY
For the complete warranty provisions and any additional information,
please refer to the Specialized Owners Manual or www.specialized.com.
TECH TIP:
Specialized recommends the application of carbon
assembly compound between the seat tube and post to increase
friction. Recommended compounds can be found at www.tacx.com.
See your authorized Specialized retailer if you have any questions.
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.
Use 42mm Campagnolo Standard compatible bear-
ings. No tools are required for installation or removal of
42mm Campagnolo Standard MindSet bearings.
• 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.
• Seat collar: Recommended torque is 55 in-lbf (6.2 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.
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.
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.
THREADED: Ensure that the bottom bracket shell
threads are clean and greased prior to installation.
Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 N-m).
OVERSIZED BB: Please refer to the carbon crank
installation guide for assembly instructions and
compatible tools.
