TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the drop-outs and whether
the rims are still centred with respect to the frame or fork.
Spin the wheels and observe the gap either between brake pads and rim
sides or between frame and tyre. If you have rim brakes and the width of the
gap changes markedly and you have no way to true the rim where you are,
you need to open the brakes a little with the special device so that the rim
can run between the brake pads without touching them. Note that in this
case the brakes may not act as powerfully as you are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes, have the wheels trued by
your SCOTT dealer immediately after you are back home.
For more information see the chapters “Brakes”, “Using quick-releases and
thru axles” and “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of the component manu-
facturers on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither twisted nor bent or broken and
that they are level and aligned. Make sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork
by trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel (e). Briefly lean on
the brake levers (f) to make sure the handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem.
REMOUNTING THE WHEEL
Mounting the wheel is done in the reverse order of dismounting. Make sure the
wheel is correctly seated in the drop-outs (a) and accurately centred between
the fork legs or the seat and chain stays. Make sure that the quick-release or the
thru axle is correctly seated (b). For more information see the chapter “Using
quick-releases and thru axles”.
If you have V-brakes and cantilever brakes hook up the brake cable at the
brake arm. To do this, grip the rim with one hand and press the brake pads and/
or the brake arms together. In this position the usually barrel shaped nipple or
the outer cable can easily be engaged (c).
If you have disc brakes, check before mounting the wheel whether the brake
pads rest snugly in their seats in the brake calliper body. The gaps between the
brake pads and the wheel should be parallel (d) and the wear indicators in their
correct position. Make sure you guide the rotor carefully between the brake
pads.
All brakes:
After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-release pull the brake lever
(several times, if you have disc brakes).
Lift your SCOTT bike off the ground and spin the wheel with your hand. With
the wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake calliper or the
brake pads and the rim should keep off the (rim) brake pads.
DANGER!
G
If you have rim brakes, make sure you hook up the brake cable immediately
after the wheel mounting!
DANGER!
G
Before setting off again check that the brake surfaces and/or rotors are still
free of grease or other lubricants after the wheel mounting.
DANGER!
G
Check whether the brake pads hit the rotors or brake surfaces of the rims.
Make sure the wheel is properly seated and firmly fixed in the drop-outs.
Always do a brake test as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride”!
