6. Tighten the expander by using an 8-mm Allen key to a maximum torque
value of 4-5 Nm making sure that the expander stays flush to the top of the
steerer and doesn’t lift slightly (a). Make sure there is no more than 2.5 mm
between the top of the stem clamp and the top of the steerer as shown on
the illustration.

7. Clamp the stem onto the steerer tube with a maximum of 6 Nm (b) and
respect also the maximum torque value of the stem manufacturer. The lower
value indicated on these components has to be accepted as a maximum
torque value. Do not overtighten!
8. Make sure the stem has no sharp edges on the contact area for the steerer or
the handlebar. This could result in serious accidents. In case you change your
stem to another model or brand, please contact your authorized SCOTT/
SYNCROS dealer. SCOTT will not be liable in case a not originally provided
SCOTT or SYNCROS stem is used on the bike assembly. In case of further
questions, please contact your authorized SCOTT/SYNCROS dealer or the
national distributor of SCOTT/SYNCROS.

Modifications in the area of the carbon forks are jobs which should be left
to a skilled two-wheel/bicycle mechanic. SCOTT therefore recommends
that you ask your SCOTT dealer to do any work on the carbon fork, whenever
necessary. Wrong processing and unfavourable stems may lead to breakage.
Risk of accident!

Sawdust from cutting carbon components has a reputation of causing can-
cer. Therefore, do not blow or sweep the dust off, but remove it with a moist
rag. Dispose of it immediately.
Saddle adjustment – fore-to-aft position and horizontal tilt
The inclination of your upper body (c), and hence your riding comfort and
pedalling power, are also influenced by the distance between the grips of the
handlebars and the saddle. This distance can be altered slightly by changing the
position of the saddle rails in the seat post clamp. However, this also influences
your pedalling. Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to the
back of the bike will alter how rearward the pedalling position of your legs is.
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the saddle
rail, i.e. on the straight part of the rail, never in the curved sections.
You need to have the saddle horizontal in order to pedal in a relaxed manner.
If it is tilted, you will constantly have to lean against the handlebars to prevent
yourself from slipping off the saddle.
DANGER!
G
The bolted connections of the seat post have to be tightened to the pre-
scribed torque values. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended
torque settings for your SCOTT bike”, directly on the components and/or in the
manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the
saddle rail (d) and not in the curved section of the saddle rails. Otherwise
the saddle rail can fail! Check the bolts by using a torque wrench (e) once a
month according to the prescribed values.
DANGER!

The setting range of the saddle is very small. Replacing the stem allows you
to make far bigger adjustments to the rider’s fore-to-aft position, as stems
come in different lengths (f). In doing so you may achieve differences of more
than ten centimetres. In this case you usually would have to adjust the length of
the cables – a job best left to your SCOTT dealer!
