LOW POSITION
All models are assembled with the Flip Chip in the Low position. Switching to
the High position raises the bottom bracket height by approximately 6mm and
steepens the head tube angle by approximately 0.5 degrees.
WARNING! Changing the frame configuration (Flip Chip position, tire size, fork
length) can alter the BB height and/or the head tube angle, which can have
negative effects on the bike's handling characteristics and ride quality. Please
refer to your Authorized Specialized Retailer before making any modifications.
Remove the upper and lower shock eye bolts, then remove the shock.
