NOTE!
I
The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the SCOTT
bike. Ask your SCOTT dealer or your trainer for help. The advice given be-
low is suitable for typical SCOTT cross-country/marathon bikes.
NOTE!
I
If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your
crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your SCOTT dealer has a very wide
range of saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT
The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedal-
ling, the ball of your foot should be positioned above the centre of the pedal
axle. With your feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs
completely straight at the lowest point, otherwise your pedalling will become
awkward (c).
Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with
suitable cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg
should be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (e) (see the chapter
“Using quick-releases and thru axles”) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp
at the top of the seat tube. The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key,
with which you turn the bolt two to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can per-
form the vertical adjustment of the seat post.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far – the mark on the seat post (f) (end,
max., min., stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube – and al-
ways grease the part of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted into a
seat tube made of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts
and/or carbon seat tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon assembly
paste instead, if the seat post remains permanently in its position, i.e. if its posi-
tion is not changed during the ride.
ADJUSTING THE SCOTT BIKE TO THE RIDER
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your SCOTT
bike. Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bike quickly
(a).
By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you
will be riding in (b. However, some components of your SCOTT bike are espe-
cially designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to a
certain degree (c). This includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem as
well as the brake levers.
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools and skills, you should
restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your SCOTT deal-
er, if you are not happy with your seating position or if you want something
changed. They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your SCOTT bike
at the workshop, e.g. for the first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check
as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test ride on your
SCOTT bike in an area free of traffic.
DANGER!
G
If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot col-
liding with the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly
adjusted.
DANGER!

All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic
and appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections al-
ways with greatest attention (d). Increase the torque values bit by bit and check
the fit of the component in between. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the
maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Rec-
ommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike”, directly on the components
and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
