Service and Modifications
Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is
impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all of the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your
bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an authorized Specialized retailer.
Your bicycle has been engineered and tested with specific components and parts. Because of the great variety in these items, it is
impossible for Specialized to test and approve of all possible combinations. Modifying the frame, fork, or any of the components may make
your bike unsafe. For example, changing the front suspension on your bicycle may alter the steering characteristics and/or add stresses to
the frame which have not been tested for. If you must replace any component, have this done by your authorized Specialized retailer.
WARNING! Service on Specialized bicycles requires special knowledge and tools. Specialized recommends that all
service and repairs be performed by an authorized Specialized retailer.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, fill, or remove parts. Do not install
incompatible forks or suspension parts. An improperly modified frame, fork, or component, can cause you to lose
control and fall.
Caution: Any modification of your frame, fork, or components means that your bike no longer meets our
specifications and therefore voids your warranty.
