Maintenance Schedule

Specialized Roubaix SL8

The Specialized Roubaix SL8 is an endurance road bike with Future Shock suspension, built for long miles and rough roads. Rough surfaces add wear beyond the drivetrain.

Service Intervals
Chain (12s AXS): check every 500 mi, replace at 1,800-2,300 mi Tires (32c): replace at 2,000-3,000 mi Brake pads (disc): replace at 1,500-2,500 mi Future Shock service: annually or every 4,000 mi Full tune-up: every 12 months or 2,500 mi, AXS batteries charged monthly

Rough-road riding shakes housings and bearings loose faster; annual service matters more on this bike than most.

Track it automatically

Saddle connects to Garmin, Wahoo, and Strava, counts every mile on your bike, and tells you when each component is actually due. Then it books the work at your local shop in one tap.
