WHEELS AND TYRES
The wheel consists of the hub, the spokes and the rim. The tyre is mounted onto
the rim so that it encases the tube in the case of the most common system, i.e.
the clincher or folding tyres. There is a rim tape running around the rim well
(e) to protect the sensitive tube against the edges of the rim trough, which are
often sharp.
Another common system comprises tubeless tyres which require specific rims
without boreholes and firmly screwed valves. Another system comprises in rare
cases tubular tyres which are glued on specific rims.
The wheels are subjected to considerable stress through the weight of the rider
and any carried luggage as well as through bumpy road surfaces and terrain.
Although wheels are manufactured with great care and delivered accurately
trued, spokes and nipples can lose a little tension on the first kilometres. Ask
your SCOTT dealer to check and true up the wheels after you have bedded
them in over about 100 to 300 kilometres or 5 to 15 hours of use.
After the bedding-in period, check the wheels regularly. It will, however, rarely
be necessary to retighten the spokes (f).
DANGER!
G
Poorly glued tubular tyres may come off the rim. Risk of accident!
CAUTION!
A
Truing (retruing) wheels is a difficult job which you should definitely leave
to your SCOTT dealer.
NOTE!
I
Tubular tyres will not be considered any further in the following. Read the
manuals of the rim manufacturer, the tyre producer on this SCOTT info CD
and ask your SCOTT dealer for advice.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Although the chain is one of the wearing components of your SCOTT bike, there
are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated regular-
ly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which run the chain in
the straightest line (a+b) between the sprockets and chainrings and get into the
habit of high cadence pedalling.
Chains on mountain bikes with derailleur gears are worn out after approx. 800
to 2,000 km or 50 to 125 hours of use. Heavily stretched chains impair the
operation of derailleur gears. Cycling with a worn-out chain also accelerates the
wear of the sprockets and chainrings. Replacing these components is relatively
expensive compared with the costs of a new chain. It is therefore advisable to
check the condition of the chain at regular intervals.
Your SCOTT dealer has accurate measuring instruments to check the chain
wear (c). Replacing the chain should ideally be left to an expert, as this requires
special tools. In addition, you need to select a chain matching your gear system.
DANGER!
G
An improperly joined or heavily worn chain can break and cause an acci-
dent.
NOTE!
I
When replacing your chain, only use appropriate and suitable original spare
parts (d). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you.
