5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any
rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. In case you have a SCOTT bike with suspension, press down on your SCOTT
bike and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as usual. For
more information see the chapters “Front suspension”, “Rear suspension“ and
Suspension seat posts“ 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.
7. If your bike has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised (f) before you set off.
Risk of falling!
8. Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain lock with you on your ride. The
only way to effectively protect your SCOTT bike against theft is to lock it to an
immovable object.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your SCOTT bike is equipped ac-
cording to the applicable regulations of your country. Riding without lights and
reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous, because you will be seen
too late or not at all by other road users.
A set of lights that corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads.
Turn on the lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see the chapter
Legal requirements for riding on public roads” in your detailed SCOTT owner’s
manual on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
WARNING: Do not use your SCOTT bike, if it fails at one of these points! A
defective SCOTT bike can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
WARNING: Improperly closed fastenings, e.g. quick-releases, can cause
parts of your SCOTT bike to come loose and result in serious accidents!
WARNING: Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike
increases, when you are riding with your hands on aero bars, on bar ends or on
multi-position handlebars. The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Your SCOTT bike has undergone numerous tests during production and a final
check has been carried out by your SCOTT dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to check
the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the trans-
port of your SCOTT bike or to changes a third person may have performed on
your SCOTT bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers (a), thru axles or nuts of the front and rear wheel,
the seat post and other components properly closed? For more information see
the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles” in this SCOTT short manual as
well as in your detailed SCOTT owners manual and in the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure (b)? The
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side
(c). For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” in your detailed
SCOTT owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of the component manufactur-
ers on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have disc brakes,
watch the gap between frame and rim or tyre and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim (d). Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with
ruptured sides or broken spokes.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” in your detailed
SCOTT owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of the component manufactur-
ers on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the
handlebars (e). The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with their
entire surface without touching the tyre during braking, in open condition or in
between. Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handle-
bars and check the hydraulic brake cables for oil or brake fluid leaks! Check the
thickness of the brake pads, as well.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you have to
actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response, have
the SCOTT bike checked by your SCOTT dealer immediately. For more infor-
mation see the chapter “Brakes” in this SCOTT short manual as well as in your
detailed SCOTT owner’s manual and in the manuals of the component manufac-
turers on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
