SPECIALIZED USER MANUAL
DIVERGE
THIS BRIEF USER MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
This user manual is specific to your Specialized Diverge bicycle. It contains important safety, performance and technical information, which you should read before your first ride and keep for reference.
You should also read the entire Specialized Bicycle Owner's Manual ("Owner's Manual"), because it has additional important general information and instructions which you should follow. If you do not
have a copy of the Owner's Manual, you can download it at no cost at www.specialized.com, or obtain it from your nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer or Specialized Rider Care.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specific components such as suspension or pedals on your bicycle, or for accessories such as helmets or lights, may also be available.
Make sure that your Authorized Specialized Retailer has given you all the manufacturers' literature that was included with your bicycle or accessories. If there is a difference between the
instructions in this manual and the information provided by the component manufacturer, please refer to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
When reading this user manual, you will note various important symbols and warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Many of the
Warnings say "you may lose control and fall." Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
INFO: This symbol alerts the reader to information which is particularly important.
GREASE: This symbol means that high quality grease should be applied as illustrated.
CARBON FRICTION PASTE: This symbol means that carbon friction paste should be applied as illustrated to increase friction.
TORQUE: This symbol highlights the correct torque value for a specific bolt. In order to achieve the specified torque value, a quality torque wrench must be used.
TECH TIP: Tech Tips are useful tips and tricks regarding installation and use.
The Specialized Diverge bicycles are intended and tested for road biking (condition 1) and general purpose riding (condition 2) use only. For more information on intended use and structural weight limits for
the frame and components, please refer to the Owner's Manual.
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.
WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the Diverge, 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 Diverge, including, but not limited to, the handlebars and the stem, are proprietary to the Diverge. Only use originally supplied
components and hardware at all times. Use of other components or hardware will compromise the integrity and strength of the assembly. Diverge specific components should
only be used on the Diverge and not on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! The Diverge frames are equipped with front and rear rack mounts. Please check with an Authorized Specialized Retailer for compatibility information. The threaded
insert underneath the fork crown is for fenders only. For weight limits and additional information, please refer to the Owner's Manual.
In order to successfully build the Diverge bicycles, 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.
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.

Summary of Contents for Specialized Diverge

  • Page 1 For weight limits and additional information, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. In order to successfully build the Diverge bicycles, 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.
  • Page 2: General Notes About Maintenance

    (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.
  • Page 3: Installing Fenders

    The Diverge frame is designed for maximum tire clearance. As a result, the frames do not have a chainstay or seatstay bridge, which are generally used to attach fenders. In order to mount fenders on a Diverge frame, the use of a custom seat tube mounted bracket to mimick the seatstay bridge and an extra long spacer to mount the fender at the bottom bracket area are required.
  • Page 4 Insert the brake hose starting from the ICR port on the chainstay near the rear brake mount (A). Continue running the hose under the bottom bracket shell, then run it up the down tube, then „ pull it out the non-drive side ICR port. Fig.1: To prevent rattle, install a foam sleeve (Churro) over the brake hose and guide it into the down tube.
  • Page 5 A video for the Future Shock cartridge is available by going to http://servicevideos.specialized.com/video/180190215, or scanning the QR Code. The Specialized Future Shock cartridge, fork and headset are designed as an integrated unit and are only intended for use and compatible with Specialized Diverge carbon frames.

    ALIGN THE ARROW WITH THE FRONT OF THE BIKE FLAT SURFACE NOTE: The collar requires a longer than normal 4mm Allen key bit to access the bolt behind the headset cover. BIT PART #: S175300015 Fig.5: Align the cartridge so that one of the three flat surfaces faces toward the front of the bike. The stem shim (J) must also align toward the back of the bike. „...
  • Page 7 INTENDED USE The Specialized SWAT Road Box is intended for use and compatible with Specialized carbon road frames with a 3rd bottle boss on the down tube and seat tube, below the standard water bottle bosses. It’s designed to carry a spare tube (max 18-25c), 16g C02 cartridge, C02 head, tire lever, EMT Road Tool, valve extender and spare cash.
  • Page 8 (locked). Do not ride with an unlocked panel. A loose panel can fall off and interfere with the safe operation of the bicycle.
