The Shiv TT is intended and tested for Road Riding only (Condition 1). For more information on intended use and structural weight limits, please refer to the Owner's Manual.

⚠️ WARNING! The Specialized carbon components on the Shiv TT bicycle are designed for a maximum rider weight of 240 lb (109 Kg). Do not ride these components if your weight, including any gear and accessories you are wearing, exceeds this weight limit. Failure to follow this warning may result in an accident, which can cause serious injury or death.

General Notes About Assembly

This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service, repair or maintenance guide. Please see your Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.

The Shiv TT is compatible with wired or wireless electronic shifting systems only. Mechanical shifting systems are not compatible.

Inspect the fork, stem, seatpost and seat tube, to ensure that there are no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine grit sandpaper.

All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be rounded out to eliminate any stress points.

⚠️ WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the Shiv TT, proper assembly requires a high degree of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential that the assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.

⚠️ WARNING! Many components on the Shiv TT, including, but not limited to, the seatpost, headset and cable guides, are proprietary to the Shiv TT. Only use originally supplied components and hardware at all times. Use of other components or hardware may compromise the integrity and strength of the assembly. Shiv TT specific components should only be used on the Shiv TT and not on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.

⚠️ WARNING! Never modify your frame or components in any way. Do not sand, drill, file, or remove parts. Do not install incompatible forks or components. An improperly modified frame, fork, or component, can cause you to lose control and fall.

In order to successfully build the Shiv TT bicycle, it is very important to follow the order of operations as outlined in this manual. Modifying the order of assembly will result in a longer build process. The following are the recommended routing instructions for Shimano Di2 wiring on the Shiv TT.

Use the Park IR-1 Internal Cable Routing Kit to simplify installation of shift wires or cable housings and brake housings.

Tools / Torque Specs

⚠️ WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.

Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the components. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this manual:

CAUTION: Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and bolt threads are greased or have a threadlocking compound (refer to the instructions for each bolt) prior to installation.

The following tools are required for installation of this product:

• 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6mm socket-style Allen keys
• Torque wrench
• High-quality grease
• Cable housing cutters
• Carbon assembly compound (fiber paste)
• Blue threadlocker

General Notes About Maintenance

The Shiv TT is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and parts replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general information regarding maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner's Manual. In addition, routinely perform a mechanical safety check before each ride, as described in the Owner's Manual.

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 bicycle for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an Authorized Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.

While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more components. Periodically examine all surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small hairline cracks or fatigue at stress points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points of contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of excessive wear, discover any cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding the bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as frequency and type of use, rider weight, riding conditions and/or impacts. Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the winter), can result in galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and bolts, which can accelerate wear and shorten the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be cleaned before each ride. The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer, which means it should be cleaned, inspected for signs of corrosion and/or cracks and lubricated.

If you notice any signs of corrosion or cracking on the frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.

Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer's instructions.

Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden hose can penetrate bearing seals and crank interfaces, which can result in increased bearing and crank wear, which can affect the normal function of the bearings. Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle cleaning agents for cleaning.

Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a car parked in the sun or near a heat source such as a radiator.

When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible, which may impair the structural integrity of the frame.

⚠️ WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to the components on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in serious personal injury or death. If your bicycle exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.

Frame and Components

Cockpit Components

Frame Internal Routing (Di2 Wiring)

This section details the internal routing of Shimano Di2 electronic shifting wires within the Shiv TT frame. It provides suggested wire lengths for various connection points, such as the down tube, seat tube, seatpost, chainstay, and handlebar.

Electronic Shift Wiring - Frame

There is no bottom bracket port to access the Junction B box. To connect the wires to the Junction B box, the crank must be removed, and the bottom bracket may need to be removed, depending on the bottom bracket type.

Electronic Shift Wiring - Basebar

Electronic Shift Wiring - Bottom Bracket

The Shiv TT is spec'd with a 68mm BSA threaded bottom bracket shell. A number of threaded bottom bracket options are available to work with the Shiv TT in order to use your preferred crankset.

Install the chosen bottom bracket, then install the cranks according to the manufacturer's specifications.

CAUTION: Do not face the bottom bracket shell! This can 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 a threaded bottom bracket.

Seatpost Assembly

FIG. 6: Assemble the seatpost.

• Grease the inboard rail clamp contact surfaces (D), then install them in the seatpost head assembly (F).
• Position the saddle rails on the inboard rail clamps.
• Position the outboard rail clamps (C) over the saddle rails. Use 7x7mm clamps for alloy rails or 7x9mm clamps for carbon rails.
• Insert the female bolt (E) through one of the outboard rail clamps and key the bolt tab in the outboard rail clamp groove.
• Apply loctite to the bolt threads (A) and grease to the bolt head and washer (B), then place the washer on the male bolt.
• Install the bolt in the opposing outboard rail clamp, then thread it into the female bolt.
