INTRODUCTION This instruction guide contains important safety, performance and service information. Read it before you take the first ride on your new Shiv equipped with the Specialized Carbon Aerobar with Aerostem or Hydroformed Alloy Aerobar, and keep it for reference. This instruction guide should be used in conjunction with the Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s Manual”).
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.
1. INSTALLING THE FORK INTO THE STEERER TUBE Specialized Shiv frames are designed in conjunction with the Specialized aero stem/handlebar combo or a 1 1/8” x 31.8mm standard stem with the Specialized alloy aero handlebar. The Specialized aero handlebars work specifically with the handlebar risers and extensions to offer the greatest range of position adjustment.
2. INSTALLING THE CARBON AERO HANDLEBAR ON THE AERO STEM 90mm 60mm SPECIALIZED AERO STEM: 12. Determine the desired stem length of 60 or 90mm (longer 80 / 110mm stem available separately) and install the carbon aero handlebar along with the handlebar position wedge TECH TIP: If the stem length is not yet determined, it’s recommended to start at the 90mm (or 110mm) position.
3. INSTALLING THE ALLOY HANDLEBAR WITH A STANDARD 31.8MM STEM STANDARD 31.8MM STEM: 15. Determine the desired stem length and angle, then place the Specialized aero handlebar into the stem. 16. Orient the handlebar position horizontally, then torque the stem faceplate bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications. WARNING! Do not grease the interface between the stem and the alloy handlebar.
CHAPTER 2: HANDLEBAR EXTENSION / RISER INSTALLATION WARNING! Aerobars are attached to the front of your bicycle, and as a result, proper and secure installation is critical. Improper installation or adjustment may result in damage to the bicycle or its components or in an accident which can cause serious injury or death.
SYSTEM WITH NO RISER SPACERS: 1. Apply grease to the bolts, then install the bolts through the handlebar, through the risers and into the extension brackets. Refer to the chart (see page 8) for the corresponding bolt length. 2. Torque the bolts to 80 in-lbf (9.0 Nm). SYSTEM WITH RISER SPACERS: 10mm 15mm...
2. INSTALLING THE CLAMPS, EXTENSIONS AND ARM PADS 4. Trim extensions to the desired length, then install the extensions in the brackets. If the extensions are difficult to insert into the brackets, apply a light coat of grease to the opening of the bracket before installing the extensions. WARNING! The extension bracket allows for a maximum adjustable depth range of 10mm.
3. ADJUSTING THE EXTENSIONS AND ARM PADS 6. The extensions have the ability to be swapped left to right, to adjust the stance width of the hand grip area. They can also be moved fore-aft for length adjustment (+/- 10mm) and rotated for additional hand grip area width and angle fine-tuning. 7.
CHAPTER 3: CABLE HOUSING / WIRE INSTALLATION 1. INSTALLING THE BRAKE CABLE HOUSINGS AND SHIFTER WIRES 1. Route a section of front brake cable housing through the non-drive-side portion of the handlebar. If running electronic shifters, route the electronic shifter wire through the handlebar at before the cable housings, and according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Shifter cable housings 7. Route the shifter cable housings through the handlebar extensions and into the large cable housing port in the top of the top tube. 8. Install the shift levers into the ends of the extensions according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Electronic shifter wires 9.
2. ROUTING THE DERAILLEUR CABLES / WIRES AT THE BOTTOM BRACKET CABLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SYSTEM To shifters To rear To front To rear To front derailleur derailleur derailleur derailleur battery OPTION A: STANDARD CABLE Rear derailleur: Route the rear derailleur cable housing through the large hole going into the drive-side chainstay. ...
4. INSTALLING THE CABLE ROUTING COVER PLATE battery 10. Once the wiring or cable housing is routed, install the cable routing cover plate , followed by the cover plate bolt (M6x15mm, 3mm countersunk Allen hex head). Apply grease to the bolt. 11.
CHAPTER 4: BRAKE INSTALLATION 1. FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY (Exploded view) 1. Aero bolt cap 2. Brake bolt O-ring 3. Brake pivot bolt 4. Brake arm 5. Spring plate 6. Spring 7. Spring cover Non-drive-side Drive-side NON-DRIVE SIDE (Rear View) DRIVE SIDE (Rear View) Place long spring tip facing out...
2. INSTALLING THE FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY 4. Install the drive-side brake arm . A flathead screwdriver with a notch in the flat edge can help rotate the spring into the fork’s spring hole. 5. If the bolts do not have blue loctite from the factory, apply blue loctite, then install the brake bolt and tighten to 70 in-lbf (7.9 Nm).
10. Place the cable noodle in the cable noodle guide and trim the cable housing so that it has a smooth path to the cable noodle that’s as short as possible while still fully seating in the noodle. Make sure it stays fully seated through the entire range of the brake, from closed to open. 3.
13. Route the cable through the brake lever, into the housing and through the rear brake cable noodle. Repeat the routing method for the front brake. 14. Route the cable around the brake pinch bolt, then apply the specified torque shown below. 4.
2. Engage the saddle rails into the slots of the conical portions of the clamp mechanism, then place the outer caps over the saddle rails. TECH TIP: The Shiv seatpost can be assembled with outer rail clamps for 7x7 alloy rails or 7x9 carbon rails. Choose the rail clamps that correspond to the saddle.
TECH TIP: The application of carbon assembly compound (fiber paste) can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please visit your Specialized Authorized Dealer for additional information. 2. SEATPOST SETBACK OPTIONS 11. The Shiv seatposts are available in +/- 12.5mm and +/- 37.5mm setbacks. The seatposts are also reversible, to offer four positions with 25mm offset. Page 21 of 23...
1. INSTALLING THE FUELSELAGE The Specialized Fuelselage Integrated Hydration System reservoir is designed to fit exclusively with Specialized Shiv carbon frames, through the top tube port and into the down tube. The Fuelselage hose can be trimmed to the desired length, and combined with the mouth port magnet and matching magnet loop, the valve location can be customized to the rider’s ideal location.
