BICYCLE/FRAME INSTRUCTION GUIDE TRANSITION CARBON - ALL MODELS THIS INSTALLATION GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE. Congratulations! The Specialized bicycle you have chosen is among the finest of advanced composite products available in cycling. Carbon fiber is a very special material that requires particular care during assembly, storage and riding. This installation guide contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications. Please read the following instructions. If you have any doubt regarding your mechanical ability and/or installation of this product, visit your local authorized dealer. Specialized recommends that components be installed on the frame using a torque wrench, by a qualified mechanic. Please read the following Warnings. Because the failure to follow any Warning may result in a catastrophic failure of the frame, resulting in serious personal injury or death, this phrase may not be repeated in connection with each Warning. 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 manual for mating component’s correct torque specifications. If the mating component’s recommended torque exceeds the frame’s recommended torque, use the lower torque spec. Due to torque considerations, not all components will be compatible. Warning! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this installation guide will void the warranty, but most importantly ADJUSTING THE SEAT POST may result in damage to the frame which may not be visible. • Install the seat post into the seat tube (fig.1).

To avoid Warning!

Clamping the frame with a standard clamp can cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible. INSTALLING THE SEAT POST & SADDLE The Specialized Transition frames require a proprietary seat post, available in 3 different setbacks. The Transition seat post system allows for an extremely wide seat tube angle range which is infinitely variable inside that range, to help the rider achieve the optimal riding position. To help the Transition frame achieve its aerodynamic benefits, the frame was designed with a very short seat post vertical adjustment range. Proper installation of the Transition Seat Post requires the use of a dedicated Transition Fit Kit tool set. This setup (fitting and cutting) MUST be performed by an authorized Specialized dealer to ensure that the seat post is cut to the optimal length, to maximize the +/- vertical adjustment range. Warning! Due to the nature of the seatpost having to be cut to a specific length, the seat post is NOT marked with a minimum insertion line. For proper seatpost insertion, ensure that the seat post extends below the minimum insertion hole located at the back of the seat tube area. Extension beyond the minimum insertion hole in the frame can result in failure. Warning! Do not grease the seat tube surface that contacts the seat post. Grease reduces the friction that is critical to proper seat post grip. Remove any grease from the surfaces of the seat tube and seat post. TECH TIP: Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound between the seat tube and post to increase friction. Recommended compounds can be found at www.tacx.com. See your authorized Specialized retailer if you have any questions. Tighten seat collar bolt to recommended torque of 70in-lbf (7.9 N-m). See fig.1 for proper grease and assembly compound application zones. Warning! Exceeding the specified recommended torque limit can result in damage to the seat post and/or frame. GENERAL WARNINGS FORK: Do not remove the small bumpers on the side/back of the fork legs. These are to protect the frame from fork contact. REAR WHEEL: Due to variables in tire manufacture, heat expansion, foreign debris, etc. Specialized recommends a minimum rear wheelto-frame clearance of 2mm. The UCI requires sufficient clearance such that a credit card must fit between the rear tire and the back of the seat tube. Thread the horizontal dropout screws in or out to fine-tune the alignment and fore-aft position of the wheel. To ensure that the rear wheel can’t slip forward in the dropouts under torque, make sure that the rear axle butts up against the dropout screws before tightening the Quick-Release. Contact between the frame and tire can cause wear and damage to the frame, which can result in failure. TRANSITION CARBON - ALL MODELS HEADSET Your Specialized frame does not require any head tube pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are already prepared from the factory, with the exception of greasing the cups. Use 36° x 45° x 38mm (1”) cartridge bearings. No tools are required for the installation or removal of the cartridge bearings. BOTTOM BRACKET Your Specialized frame does not require any bottom bracket pre-installation preparation. All surfaces are already prepared from the factory, with the exception of greasing the threads. It is acceptable to chase the threads if applicable and necessary. Do not face the bottom bracket shell surfaces. THREADED: Ensure that the bottom bracket shell threads are clean and greased prior to installation. Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 N-m). OVERSIZED BB: Please refer to the carbon crank installation guide for assembly instructions and compatible tools. COMPONENT TORQUE SETTINGS • Braze-on front derailleur: Recommended torque is 44 in-lbf (5.0 N-m). • Rear derailleur: Recommended torque is 70 in-lbf (7.9 N-m). Ensure threads are clean prior to installation. • Seat collar: Recommended torque is 70 in-lbf (7.9 N-m). • Downtube (@ BB) Brake Cable Stop: Recommended torque is 35 in-lbf (4.0 N-m). • Water bottle cage: Recommended torque is 35 in-lbf (4.0 N-m). Warning! Great care should be taken not to damage composite materials, including the frame and any composite components. Any damage may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may not be visible in inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash, carefully inspect the bicycle for and dents, fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if the bicycle shows any signs of these signs. After any crash, and before riding any further, take the bicycle to an authorized Specialized retailer for a complete inspection. The following illustration highlights all the Transition’s relevant geometry measurements and angles. The following charts outline the measurements for each frame size according to the “Reach & Stack” method as well as show the standard method using the effective top tube length and seat tube angle. The Geometry measurements are separated into three charts, one for each seat post setback (Zero, Standard, Team). Recommendations about Tri bike fit and how it differs from traditional road bike fit: • The saddle is typically more forward. • The saddle position is partly dependant on the amount of handlebar drop and vice versa. • Position depends on the rider’s goals, flexibility, event style and intended riding experience. To optimize the comfort, performance and control of the Transition bike, see a qualified Tri Bike fitter.
