The Specialized Stumpjumper Carbon frame utilizes 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.
STUMPJUMPER / SAFIRE FSR CARBON INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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, seat post, 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 authorized Specialized retailer.
WARNING!
When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp
the stand to the seat post 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.
SEAT POST
Refer to your seat post owner’s manual prior to installation. Specialized Mountain
frames have a 30.9mm seat post diameter and require that the seat post have a
tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm.
Do not grease inside surface of carbon seat tube!
The Stumpjumper Carbon frame uses a bolt-style seat post clamping mechanism. Since the
components of this assembly are in direct contact with carbon fiber, pay special attention
to ensure proper tightness for the seat post when correctly tightened to specifications.
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.
