MY2002 – MY2015 Bicycles with Front-Wheel Quick-Releases and Disc Brakes

Product description

All models of Specialized bicycles from model years 2002 through 2015 equipped with front disc brakes and quick-release cam levers that open far enough to potentially come in contact with the disc brake rotor. Bicycles with front quick-release cam levers that have a clearance of at least 6 millimetres, which is the equivalent of the width of a # 2 Pencil, between the leading edge of the cam lever in its most open position and the disc rotor while applying thumb pressure on the end of the cam lever directed towards the rotor (the “#2 Pencil Test”) are not included in this corrective action.
