Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open“ (b) on the lever.
Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider” and
Wheels and tyres” in this SCOTT short manual as well as in your detailed SCOTT
owner’s manual and in the manuals of the component manufacturers on the
enclosed SCOTT info CD. There you will also find information on the RWS system
from DT-Swiss.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close“ on the
outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtually no
resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/fork.
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase signifi-
cantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use
the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the
fork (c) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle, i.e.
it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork so that it
cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is easy to handle
for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the
hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed. If you can turn the lever around, open
it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side clock-
wise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the
ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will remain
firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any rattling.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether the
saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame.
WARNING: Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always
on the side opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front
wheel accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of SCOTT bikes with disc
brakes and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount
both quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you
not to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having
your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
WARNING: Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first,
whether the wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-
release the wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
CAUTION: If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure
to lock the frame to an immovable object together with the wheels when you
leave it outside. Anti-theft protection!
WARNING: During use your SCOTT bike is undergoing stress resulting from
the surface of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads,
the different parts of your bike react with wear and fatigue. Please check your
SCOTT bike regularly, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance
schedule, for wear marks, scratches, deformations, colour changes and any
indication of cracking. Components which have reached the end of their service
life may break without previous warning. Let your SCOTT dealer maintain and
service your SCOTT bike regularly. In cases of doubt it is always best to replace
components.
USING QUICK-RELEASES AND THRU AXLES
QUICK-RELEASES ON THE SCOTT BIKE
Most SCOTT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments, assem-
bly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight before
you set off on your SCOTT bike. Quick-releases should be handled with greatest
care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practice the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative elements
(a):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a cam
when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
WARNING: Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g.
after a long down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc
cool down before opening the quick-release.
