INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! The Specialized Shiv TT is among the finest advanced composite products available in cycling. Carbon fiber is a very special material
that requires particular care during assembly, storage and riding. This instruction guide contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications,
to be used in conjunction with the owner’s manuals and instruction guides supplied with your bicycle.
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 a complicated task which requires training and experience. Do not attempt installation of any component
if you do not have experience and training as a bicycle mechanic. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or
death. Reference should also be made to Barnett’s or some other comprehensive bicycle manual.
WARNING! Failure to follow the torque specifications in this guide will void your warranty, but most importantly may result in damage to the crank
which may not be visible. If the frame or any components are damaged, this can result in loss of structural integrity, which may result in serious personal
injury or death. To ensure the best assembly possible and to prevent any damage to the frame and components, follow all torque specifications.
WARNING! When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand using a frame clamp specifically designed for
thin-wall carbon tubes (for example, the Park Tools 100-X4 Extreme Range Clamp). Clamping the frame with a standard clamp can
cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5mm Allen keys
4, 5mm socket-style Allen keys
10mm wrench
Torque wrench
High quality grease
Blue threadlocker (Loctite 242)
Cable and housing cutters
Flathead screwdriver (notched)
FRAME PREPARATION
CAUTION: Do not face or ream bottom bracket shell! This can possibly prevent proper installation of the crank. Your Specialized frame does
not require any Bottom Bracket shell pre-installation preparation, all surfaces have been precisely machined to specific tolerances at the
factory for proper interface with the S-Works Carbon crankset.
WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. Any damage may result in a loss of structural
integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may or may not be visible in inspection. Before each ride, and after any
crash, you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other
signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle
to an authorized Specialized retailer for a complete inspection.

GEOMETRY
Due to the innovative design of the Specialized Shiv TT, the parameters that a bike fitter uses to match a bike to a rider’s body are adjusted in different
ways than on a traditional TT/Tri bike.
There are three key changes from a traditional TT bike fit that make the Shiv TT unique compared to a typical bike when deciding a rider’s frame size:
1. The 5 different frame sizes increase only in Reach (or the horizontal length from the BB to the center of the HT) -- the lowest Stack (the vertical
dimension from BB to the center-top of the HT) is fixed for all sizes.
You chose bike size based upon reach and can micro adjust stack up from this lowest position to match the rider’s preferred aerobar placement.
2. The Stack of the aerobar extensions is adjustable (115mm of vertical adjustment) and moves vertically – NOT in-line with the steer tube as on a
traditional front end. For example:
On a Transition, if you add a 10mm spacer to the steerer tube at 73 degrees, you’ve increased the vertical stack of the bar 9.5mm and shortened
the reach 3mm.
On a Shiv TT, if you add a 10mm spacer, you have increased the vertical stack 10mm and the reach is still the same.
3. There is only one “stem” length and angle for all sizes of bike: 75mm, -18 degree.
This fixes the basebar to one position that is non-adjustable for each frame size.
Aerobar pads and extensions can be raised up from here (up to 115mm vertically).
Flipping the aerobar pads gives 22mm of reach adjustment.
Please review the attached geo chart for detailed bike measurements.
It is highly recommended that you fit a prospective Shiv TT rider on a fit cycle or a Transition before ordering a Shiv TT size. Once a rider is fit,
measuring effective reach from BB to center of aerobar pad will dictate which size bike the rider needs.
The sizes are denoted by their effective reach to the center of the aerobar pad: 450mm, 465 mm, 480 mm, 495 mm, and 515 mm. Additionally, TT
length is supplied in the geo chart for those who use this parameter.

1. Cut the front brake cable housing (1-A) to 35cm length. The final housing length may need to be trimmed, based on the brand of brake levers (fig.3).
2. Cut the rear brake cable housing (1-B) to 150cm length. The final housing length will be to be trimmed during the rear brake installation.
3. Run the front brake cable (1-C) backward inside the front brake cable housing.
4. Install the front cable housing, from the underside of the handlebar (1-D) through the center hole, by first running the brake cable through the
handlebar, then pushing the cable housing through. The cable can be used to help pull the housing through as well.
5. Repeat for the rear cable housing, but through the top of the center hole of the handlebar.
6. Make sure the cable housings stick out at the brake lever end by about 2” to engage the cable housing slot in the brake lever.

7. Once the housings are installed in the handlebar, remove the front and rear brake cables from inside the cable housings.
