INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the finest line of suspension bikes available! About Off Road, Stunt, Downhill and Freeriding This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bicycle Owner’s Manual and owner’s manuals supplied by the manufacturer of the front and rear suspension components. If you did not receive any of these manuals, download them from the Internet, contact your dealer, or contact us by telephone.
INTRODUCTION Here is what you should look for when you inspect your bicycle for this type of riding: bent or broken components, such as the handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost, pedals; dents, cracks, scratches, deformation, or discoloration. Because damage may be internal and hidden, if any of these signs are present, stop riding until your bicycle has been thoroughly inspected by your Specialized dealer.
Service and Modifications INTRODUCTION Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all of the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an authorized Specialized retailer.

SHOCK SETUP Set Sag: - Proper sag will be achieved with one turn of preload on the spring. More then two turns of preload will require a higher spring rate or not enough sag will require a softer spring rate. - See spring rate chart for additional information or refer to the Fox shock manual. - Recommended sag: 30 - 35% of shock stroke. Demo 8 sag: 21mm - 24mm Adjust Rebound: Rebound damping controls the rate at which the shock returns after it has been compressed.
TIPS Front Derailleur Adjustment CAUTION: Normally, the front derailleur cage is positioned 1-3 mm above the large (44t) outer chainring. When using an outer chainring (in place of a bash guard) the design of the Demo 8 & 9 requires that the front derailleur cage be positioned 3-5 mm above the outer chainring to prevent contact.
