BIKE OWNER’S MANUAL
Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices
Most bicycles have front forks which utilize a secondary wheel retention device to keep
the wheel from disengaging if the quick release is incorrectly adjusted. Secondary
retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release adjustment.Secondary
retention devices fall into two basic categories:
1. The clip-on type is a part which the manufacturer adds to the front wheel hub
or front fork.
2. The integral type is molded, cast or machined into the outer faces of the
front fork dropouts.
Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention device on your bike.
WARNING!
Do not remove or disable the secondary retention device. As its name implies, it serves
as a back-up for a critical adjustment. If the quick release is not adjusted correctly, the
secondary retention device can reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork.
Removing or disabling the secondary retention device may also void the warranty.
Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release adjustment.
Failure to properly adjust the quick release mechanism can cause the wheel to wobble
or disengage, which could cause you to loose control and fall, resulting in serious injury
or death.
Wheels
Bicycle wheels are designed to be removable for easier transportation and for repair of
a tire puncture. In most cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called “dropouts”
in the fork and frame, but some suspension mountain bikes use what is called a
“through axle” wheel mounting system.
If you have a mountain bike equipped with through axle front or rear wheels, make
sure that your dealer has given you the manufacturer’s instructions, and follow those
when installing or removing a through axle wheel. If you don’t know what a through
axle is, ask your dealer.

(bolt-on wheel, fig. 10)
Your bicycle may be equipped with a different securing method for the front wheel
than for the rear wheel. Discuss the wheel securing method for your bicycle with your
dealer.
It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing method on your
bicycle, that you know how to secure the wheels correctly, and that you know how
to apply the correct clamping force that safely secures the wheel. Ask your dealer to
instruct you in correct wheel removal and installation, and ask him to give you any
available manufacturer’s instructions.
Fix a flat tire
Bike tires are fitted with tubes.
Remove the wheel from the bike and deflate it. Unhook the tire from one side of the
rim, using tire tools, not screwdrivers.
Remove the tube from the tire casing, repair or replace it. Install the new or repaired
tire. Fill the tube lightly with air in order to let it take its shape. Put the valve stem
through the hole, and fit the inside tire. Put the tire bead in the rim starting at the valve
and finishing at the opposite end, working on both sides. Push the valve stem into the
tire and pull it back down to seat. Make sure the tube is not pinched under the tire
bead. Inflate with hand or foot-pump.
Close the brake’s quick release system carefully.
Use of a bicycle hauler
SCOTT bikes are not intended for the use of haulers (load-haulers, kids-haulers, Trailer
bikes).
Please note that SCOTT will not take any warranty or responsibility when using a
hauler.
There are too many different haulers and hauler fixation systems on the market to give
a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or endangering
the passengers.
Use of a baby seat
SCOTT bikes of Racing Concept, Racing, Endurance, Progressive, Road, Roadster and
Kids Series are not intended for the use of baby seats.
Please note that SCOTT will not take any warranty or responsibility when using a baby
seat on bikes mentioned above.
There are too many different baby seat and baby seat fixation systems on the market
to give a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or
endangering the passengers.
