VENGE ViAS DISC USER MANUAL
IMPORTANT:
This user manual is specific to your Specialized Venge ViAS Disc bicycle. It contains important safety, performance and
technical information, which you should read before your first ride and keep for reference. You should also read the entire
Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s Manual”), because it has additional important general information and
instructions which you should follow. If you do not have a copy of the Owner’s Manual, you can download it at no cost at
www.specialized.com, or obtain it from your nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer or Specialized Rider Care.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specific components such as suspension or pedals on
your bicycle, or for accessories such as helmets or lights, may also be available. Make sure that your Authorized
Specialized Retailer has given you all the manufacturers’ literature that was included with your bicycle or
accessories. If there is a difference between the instructions in this manual and the information provided by the
component manufacturer, please refer to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
When reading this user manual, you will note various important symbols and warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Many of the Warnings say
“you may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we
do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a
potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or
is an alert against unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not
avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
INFO: This symbol alerts the reader to information which is particularly important.
GREASE: This symbol means that high quality grease should be applied as illustrated.
CARBON FRICTION PASTE: This symbol means that carbon friction paste should be applied as
illustrated to increase friction.
TORQUE: This symbol highlights the correct torque value for a specific bolt. In order to achieve
the specified torque value, a quality torque wrench must be used.
TECH TIP: Tech Tips are useful tips and tricks regarding installation and use.

GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service, repair or maintenance guide. Please see
your Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer
may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.
WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the Venge ViAS Disc, proper assembly requires a
high degree of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential that
the assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
WARNING! Many components on the Venge ViAS, including, but not limited to, the handlebars and
the stem, are proprietary to the Venge ViAS. Only use originally supplied components and hardware
at all times. Use of other components or hardware will compromise the integrity and strength of the
assembly. Venge ViAS specific components should only be used on the Venge ViAS and not on other
bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not face or ream the bottom bracket shell! This can prevent proper installation
of the crank. Your Specialized frame does not require any bottom bracket shell pre-installation
preparation, as all surfaces have been precisely machined to specific tolerances at the factory
for proper interface with OSBB/BB30 compatible crankset. Please refer to the manufacturer
instructions for crank and bottom bracket installation.
In order to successfully build the Venge ViAS Disc bicycle, it is very important to follow the order of
operations as outlined in this manual. Modifying the order of assembly will result in a longer build process.
BOLT SIZE / TOOLS / TORQUE SPECS
WARNING! 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. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Where indicated, ensure that 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. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this manual:
LOCATION Bolt Spec Torque (in-lbf) Torque (Nm)
Stem @ Steerer Tube 4mm 45 5.1
Stem @ Handlebar 5mm 100 11.3
Mechanical shifting - stem cable guide (bolted to stem) 3mm 45 5.1
Garmin mount bracket @ stem 2.5mm 25 2.8
Garmin mount @ bracket 2.5mm 25 2.8
Fork expander plug 4mm 45 5.1
Bottom bracket door (Di2 only) 2.5mm 10 1.1
Bottom bracket door (Carbon - mechanical or electronic) 2.5mm 15 1.7
Saddle rail clamp bolt 5mm 120 13.5
Seat collar bolt 5mm 55 6.2
Derailleur hanger 3mm 20 2.3
CAUTION: Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and bolt threads are greased or have a
threadlocking compound (refer to the instructions for each bolt) prior to installation.

GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The Specialized Venge ViAS Disc is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair
and parts replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general information regarding
maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. In addition, routinely perform a mechanical safety
check before each ride, as described in the Owner’s Manual.
• 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.
• While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more components. Periodically examine all
surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small hairline cracks or fatigue at stress points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points
of contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of excessive wear, discover any cracks, no matter how small, or any
damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding the bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
• Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as frequency and type of use, rider
weight, riding conditions and/or impacts. Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean
or in the winter), can result in galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and bolts, which can accelerate
wear and shorten the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should
be cleaned before each ride. The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer, which
means it should be cleaned, inspected for signs of corrosion and/or cracks and lubricated. If you notice any signs of
corrosion or cracking on the frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.
• Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden hose can penetrate bearing seals
and crank interfaces, which can result in increased bearing and crank wear, which can affect the normal function of the
bearings. Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle cleaning agents for cleaning.
• Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a car parked in the sun or near a
heat source such as a radiator.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to the components
on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in serious personal injury
or death. If your bicycle exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
