Carbon Frame Instructions; Seatpost - Specialized STUMPJUMPER FSR 26 Owner's Manual

CARBON FRAME INSTRUCTIONS

The Specialized Stumpjumper carbon frames utilize advanced composite materials
that require particular care during assembly, storage and riding. This installation and
care guide contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications. Assembling a
complete bicycle is a complicated task requiring training and experience, only a trained
and experienced bicycle mechanic should install components to this frame. Reference
should also be made to Barnett's or some other comprehensive bicycle manual.
WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may result in a catastrophic failure of
the frame and/or its components while riding, which may result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Bicycle assembly is an art which requires training and experience. Do not
attempt installation of any component if you do not have experience and training as a
bicycle mechanic.
To ensure the best assembly possible and to prevent any damage to the components
or frame, follow all torque specifications. Please refer to the specific owner's manuals
for each mating component's correct torque specifications. If the mating component's
recommended torque exceeds the frame's recommended torque, use the lower torque
specification. Due to torque considerations, not all components will be compatible.
WARNING! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this installation guide will void
your warranty, but most importantly may result in damage to the frame which may not
be visible. If the frame is damaged, this can result in loss of structural integrity.
Bicycle components such as a handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost, saddle, brakes,
must be mutually compatible with each other, as well as the frame and the intended
use. Any doubt regarding compatibility should be discussed with your local Specialized
Authorized Dealer.
WARNING! 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.
Refer to your seatpost owner's
manual prior to installation. Certain
Specialized MTB frames have a
30.9mm seatpost diameter and
require that the seatpost have a
tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm.
Do not grease the inside surface of the
carbon seat tube!
The Stumpjumper carbon frames
use a quick-release seatpost binder.
Since the components of this
assembly are in direct contact with
carbon fiber, pay special attention
to ensure proper tightness for the
seatpost when correctly tightened to
specifications.
TECH TIP: Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound
(or carbon paste) between the seat tube and seatpost to increase friction. See your
Specialized Authorized Dealer if you have any questions.
