Tarmac SL6 Setup
Fit
Ensuring that your new Tarmac is properly fit to you is an important step in preparing for your first ride. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer will be able to provide a basic fit, ensuring that you are able to ride your Tarmac comfortably and efficiently.
To adjust the saddle height, begin by moving the rubber grommet up the seatpost to expose the seatpost wedge bolt. Loosen the seatpost wedge bolt using a 5mm hex. Apply grease to the seatpost wedge ramp faces and bolt. Apply carbon past to the seatpost at the clamping area. Adjust the saddle height as needed. Ensure that the seat post insertion is within the range shown below. Damage to frame and seatpost may occur if the seatpost insertion exceeds the value listed. Torque the seatpost wedge bolt to 6.2Nm (55 in-lbf) and slide the rubber seatpost grommet back onto the frame.

Read the Manual
We know product manuals aren't daily reading material, but our manuals contain lots of useful information to help riders get the most out of our bikes, including some critical information about setup and maintenance, so we highly recommend giving them a careful review before going for a ride.
