Product Information

What should I do if the products I’m looking for are not available on the official website or my purchase cannot be processed on Specialized.com.cn?

Some parts and accessories of SPECIALIZED bicycles are authorized to be sold together only with the whole bicycles. In the meantime, professional knowledge and techniques to a certain degree are required for assembling the bicycles or equipment. Therefore, you cannot place an order for such accessories directly and separately on our official website. You may contact our retailers to order such accessories, which will provide you with the sale and assembly services in connection with the parts and accessories.If you have any questions, feel free to contact the customer service representatives.

 

How do I determine the size of my bicycle?

First, look over your frame to see if there are any stickers indicating its size (for example: 17, 19, M, L, 56, 58, etc.). If a sticker indicating the size does not exist, then follow these simple steps:

1.Measure the length of your bicycle's head tube. The head tubeis the part connecting the front fork and the frame. It’s a tapered opening at the most front end of the major part of the frame, which is used for installing and fixing the front fork. You will need to measure this length in millimeters.

2.Once you have the length of your bicycle's head tube in millimeters, you can then compare that length to the geometry chart for your corresponding year and model of bicycle. A geometry chart is a chart that lists all of the important measurements of your bicycle's frame in relation to each size the bicycle was made in. For the geometry chart for your specific model and year (as well as other valuable information about your specific bicycle model), please refer to “Bike Archive” at the bottom of the first page on SPECIALIZED’s American official website (SPECIALIZED.com/us/en) to find the relevant model data.

3.Once you've located your specific model and year in the official website, click on the "Geometry" tab located under the photo of your bicycle. This will show you the frame geometry chart for your specific model and year.

4.Locate the row in the geometry chart labeled "head tube length" and find the measurement that matches the measurement that you took from your bicycle's head tube.

5.Once you've found a match, scan to the top of that column and you'll see the corresponding size of your bicycle.

Note: A serial number does not indicate the size, model, or year of a bicycle. We cannot identify the relevant information about the bicycles through the serial number of the bicycles only. If you don’t know the model and year of production of a bicycle, please check them through the bicycle model and photo database of the “Bike Archive” on our official website.

 

Where can I find my bicycle’s serial number?

The serial numbers of almost all of our bicycles are marked at the bottom of the top tube of the frame and near the bottom brackets shell. Some newer models will have a non-removable sticker on the down tube near the bottom bracket. Specialized serial numbers typically start with the prefix "WSBC," "WUD," "STT," or "STE", plus Arabic numerals.If you don't know where the bottom bracket shell of the bike is, simply turn the bike upside-down and the bottom bracket is the part of the frame that the cranks run through. You will see the serial number stamped into the frame down there.

 

How often shall the rear shock and the front fork of a mountain bike be maintained and repaired?

When your shock is in active use, a small amount of residual grease will purge from the seals. This is normal—it is not the oil leaking from the shock. These seals need to be damp with grease, and a little bit of oil on the shock is the sign that things are working properly.To prevent wear and damage to the shock, we recommend the following maintenance schedule for Specialized branded suspension forks and rear shocks:

  • Set sag every ride.
  • Adjust rebound every ride.
  • Clean shock body every ride.
  • Air sleeve maintenance Every 50 hours.
  • Clean aluminum pivot reducers and check for wear grease every 50 hours.
  • Have your retailer send your fork/shock to the Specialized Service Center for inspection and oil change every 150 hours or annually.
  • For FOX and RockShox co-branded BRAIN suspension products, please send it to a SPECIALIZED’sauthorized retailers for maintenance of the air chamber and spare parts every 30 hours.
  • For FOX and RockShox co-branded BRAIN suspension products, please send it to a SPECIALIZED’sauthorized retailers for inspection and full oil change/service every 100 hours or annually.

 

CAUTION!All related shock maintenance must be performed by a professional service distributor authorized by SPECIALIZED.
