Service; Service Intervals - Specialized Roubaix Comp Road Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and
bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation
is increasing. It is impossible for this manual to provide all the
information required to properly repair and/or maintain your
bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an accident
and possible injury, it is critical that you have any repair or
maintenance which is not specifically described in this manual
performed by your dealer. Equally important is that your individual
maintenance requirements will be determined by everything from
your riding style to geographic location. Consult your dealer for
help in determining your maintenance requirements.
WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special
knowledge and tools. Do not begin any adjustments or service on
your bicycle until you have learned from your dealer how to properly
complete them. We recommend that significant mechanical repairs
should be carried out by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Improper
adjustment or service may result in damage to the bicycle or in an
accident which can cause serious injury or death.
If you want to learn to do major service and repair work on your bike:
1. Ask your dealer for copies of the manufacturer's installation and service
instructions for the components on your bike, or contact the component
manufacturer.
2. Ask your dealer to recommend a book on bicycle repair.
3. Ask your dealer about the availability of bicycle repair courses in your
area.
We recommend that you ask your dealer to check the quality of your work the
first time you work on something and before you ride the bike, just to make sure
that you did everything correctly. Since that will require the time of a mechanic,
there may be a modest charge for this service.
We also recommend that you ask your dealer for guidance on what spare
parts, such as inner tubes, light bulbs, etc. it would be appropriate for you to have
once you have learned how to replace such parts when they require replacement.
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner, and
require no special tools or knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual.
The following are examples of the type of service you should perform
yourself. All other service, maintenance and repair should be performed in a
properly equipped facility by a qualified bicycle mechanic using the correct tools
and procedures specified by the manufacturer.
1. Break-in Period: Your bike will last longer and work better if you break
