• Apply grease to the bolt threads, bolt head and washer (A), and the
contact surfaces between the upper (B), middle (C) and lower (D)
wedge parts.
• Install the rubber wedge cover (E) onto the seatpost.
• Apply carbon assembly compound (fiber paste) to the seatpost, then
insert the seatpost into the seat tube. Guide the battery strap (fig.2,
P.3) into the seatpost before installing the seatpost in the seat tube.
• Assemble the seatpost wedge, then insert it into the frame, in front of
the seatpost.
• Once the saddle height is determined torque the seatpost wedge bolt
to 55 in-lbf (6.2 Nm).
• Slide the rubber wedge cover down over the wedge assembly.

MINIMUM INSERTION:
75mm
SIGHT HOLE
Fig.9: Both the frame and seatpost have minimum insertion requirements.
„
In addition, the frame has a maximum insertion requirement.
MINIMUM INSERTION: The seatpost must be inserted into the frame
„
deep enough so the minimum insertion/maximum extension (min/max)
mark on the seatpost is not visible, and/or the seatpost is visible through
the sight hole. Both the frame and seatpost require a minimum of 75mm
of insertion. This hole is only visible when the Reservoir is not installed.
MAXIMUM INSERTION: 200mm.
„
CAUTION: The Reservoir may limit the seatpost insertion. The
seatpost and/or saddle rails must have enough clearance to
not touch the reservoir.

WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame insertion
requirements may result in damage to the frame and/or
seatpost, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation
of the seatpost, refer to the appropriate section in the Owner's
Manual. Riding with an improperly tightened seatpost can
allow the saddle and seatpost to slide down, which can
damage the frame and cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Inspect the seatpost and seat tube to ensure that
there are no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any burrs or sharp
edges using fine grit sandpaper.
The Shiv seatpost length is 350mm, and is available in two
offsets. If the seatpost is at the maximum insertion and the
saddle is too high, the seatpost can be cut. Once cut, the
minimum insertion line on the seatpost will no longer be accurate.
To ensure adequate insertion, make sure the seatpost has the
required insertion, and/or is visible through the sight hole.
Do not apply grease to the contact surfaces between the
seatpost and the seat tube. Grease reduces the friction, which
is critical to proper seatpost grip. Specialized recommends the
application of carbon assembly compound (fiber paste), which
can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please visit
your Specialized Authorized Retailer for additional information.

BASEBAR ASSEMBLY

At this time, the rear brake hose and main down tube wire
should be sticking out the port below the head tube, between
the fork legs and below the lower bridge of the fork.

DO NOT GREASE!
Fig.10: Install the Basebars.
„
• Grease the inside surface of the four fork lobes.
• Choose the spindles that correspond to the desired Basebar angle (0
or 20 degree position) and orient the spindles accordingly (if using the
+/- 20 position options).
• The Basebars are side-specific. Position a Basebar all the way
against the fork between the lobes, then guide a spindle through a
lobe, through the Basebar and through the 2nd lobe. Make sure the
spindle is centered within the lobes.
• Torque the cinch bolt and cinch nut on each end of the spindles to
50% of the final torque (40 in-lbf / 4.5 Nm), then apply full torque to
the 6mm hex nut side (80 in-lbf / 9.0 Nm) while holding secure the
opposite side from rotation.
• Once the spindle is installed through the Basebar, pull the Basebar
outward to seat it against the spindle.
