SHELTERING AND STORING YOUR SCOTT BIKE
If you regularly look after your SCOTT bike during the season, you will not need to
take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart from securing it
against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your SCOTT bike for a longer period of time, e.g. over the winter
months, please observe the following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to gradually
lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your SCOTT bike is left standing
on flat tyres for an extended period, this can cause damage to the structure of the
tyres. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire SCOTT bike (a) or to
check the tyre pressure regularly (b). Clean your SCOTT bike and protect it against
corrosion. Your SCOTT dealer has special maintenance products, e.g. spray wax
(c)
.
Dismount the seat post and let dry away possibly penetrated humidity. Spray a
little finely atomized oil into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil in a car-
bon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the smallest sprocket.
This relaxes the cables and the springs.
CAUTION: Do not hang your SCOTT bike on carbon rims. Mount instead at
least one aluminium wheel.
CAUTION: There are hardly any waiting times at your SCOTT dealer during the
winter months. In addition, many of the SCOTT dealers offer an annual check-
up at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your SCOTT dealer to
do the scheduled maintenance work!
CAUTION: If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use
original spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or
tyres that are not of identical dimension, may render your SCOTT bike unsafe.
Risk of accident!
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm your
SCOTT bike. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all components at
regular intervals.
Avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure jet is likely
to enter bearings by passing through the seals and dilute the lubricants hereby in-
creasing the friction. This destroys and impairs the functioning of the bearing races
in the long term. High-pressure jets are also likely to remove frame and rim stickers.
A much more gentle way of cleaning your bike is with a low-pressure water jet or
a bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bike by hand has
another positive side-effect: you may discover defects in the paint as well as worn
or defective components at an early stage.
After cleaning and drying you should check the chain for wear (f, p. 35) and apply
lubricant agent (see the chapter “Bicycle chain” in your detailed SCOTT owner’s
manual as well as in the manuals of the component manufacturers on the enclosed
SCOTT info CD).
Wipe dry the sliding surfaces of the suspension fork and the rear shock and apply
special spray approved by the manufacturer.
Apply a coat of standard hard wax on painted, metal and carbon surfaces (except
from brake surfaces and brake discs). Polish the waxed surfaces after drying to
give them a nice shine.
WARNING: Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads,
brake discs and rim sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could fail.
Never grease or lubricate the clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g.
handlebars, stem, seat post and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components
may never again ensure reliable clamping!
WARNING: While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well
as deformed or discoloured material. Have defective components replaced
immediately and touch up paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
CAUTION: Only use petroleum-based solvents for cleaning tough oil or
grease stains from paint and carbon surfaces. Never use degreasing agents
containing acetone, methyl chloride or the like, or solvent-containing, non-
neutral or chemical cleaning agents that could attack the surface!
CAUTION: Do not clean your SCOTT bike with a high-pressure cleaner or a
water jet and if you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do not aim at the bearings.
