HOW TO USE THE PROVIDED TORQUE WRENCH

Your bicycle is supplied with a custom torque wrench which should be used to tighten the bolts where indicated. It’s important to properly use a torque wrench during assembly to make sure all bolts are tightened to specification.

The torque specifications for the bicycle build can be found in the user manual supplied with the bicycle (where applicable) or printed on the part near the bolt you are torquing. General torque specifications may also be found in the Owner’s Manual.

SymbolWARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform, or break. An incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall. Where indicated, ensure each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the components.

Symbol The gauge measurements on this torque wrench only display in Nm. If you choose to use your own tools, both Nm and in-lbf torque specifications are provided in your bicycle’s user manual (where applicable).

Following are instructions on how to use the provided torque wrench. If after reading the instructions you’re still unsure of how to use the torque wrench, please contact Rider Care or visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer for assistance.

    How To Use The Provided Torque Wrench

  • Insert the torque wrench into the bolt head (A) and turn the lever arm clockwise until you feel resistance and the lever arm starts to flex.

  • Once the lever arm starts to flex, apply the correct torque to the bolt by turning the lever until the torque pointer is aligned with the applicable numbered line on the torque gauge, then stop and remove the torque wrench from the bolt (e.g. if the specification is 6 Nm, turn until the torque pointer is aligned with the line to the left of “6”).
