The MasterMind TCU sits above the top tube and has the potential to be struck by the
handlebar or stem when the handlebar is rotated fully. Therefore, When assembling the bike,
make sure to have enough clearance between the handlebar, stem, and the MasterMind TCU.
The number of spacers below the stem necessary to clear MasterMind TCU will depend on
several factors. These include stem model/length/orientation, and headtube flip chip position.

The Kenevo SL 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 the 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 not to 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 during 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
„
use, rider weight, riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the Kenevo SL uses a
power-assisted drive system, which means more distance is covered in the same amount
of time. Components may be subject to increased wear at different rates, depending on the
component. Drivetrain and brake components are especially subject to wear. Periodically
have your Authorized Specialized Retailer inspect your bicycle and components for wear.
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, lubricated, and (partially) disassembled and inspected
for signs of corrosion and/or cracks . If you notice any signs of corrosion or cracking on the
