CAUTION!
A
Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post in the holding jaws of a work-
stand! The components may sustain damage. Mount a sturdy (aluminium)
seat post (d) instead and use it to clamp the frame, or choose a work stand that
holds the frame at three points inside the frame triangle or that clamps the fork
and bottom bracket shell.
NOTE!
I
Protect the exposed areas of your carbon frame (e.g. the head tube and
the underside of the down tube) against rubbing cables or stone chips with
special pads (e) your SCOTT dealer keeps for sale.
NOTE!
I
Carbon fibre components are particularly vulnerable to damage caused
by excessive clamping force. Carbon assembly paste creates extra friction
between two surfaces, allowing the necessary torque value for clamping to be
reduced by up to 30 %. This is especially useful in the clamping areas of handle-
bars and stem, steerer tube and stem and seat post and stem, i.e. three areas
where too much clamping force can damage either component, causing com-
ponent failure or voiding the warranty. By reducing the clamping force, carbon
assembly paste relieves stress on sensitive carbon surfaces, preventing damage
to fibres or the cracking of the carbon substructure.
THE HEADSET ON THE SCOTT BIKE
The headset (f) connects the fork to the frame, but allows it to move freely.
It must turn with virtually no resistance, if the SCOTT bike is to run straight,
stabilising itself as it travels. Shocks caused by uneven road surfaces expose the
headset to considerable levels of stress. In this way it can become loose and go
out of correct adjustment.
When you intend to transport your SCOTT bike in the boot of your car, be sure
to protect the bike or the carbon frame and components (a). Blankets, foam
tubes or the like are a suitable padding to protect the sensitive material from
damage. Do not place any bags on your SCOTT bike lying in your car.
Always park your SCOTT bike carefully and make sure it does not topple over.
Carbon frames and components may already sustain damage by simply top-
pling over and thereby hitting e.g. a sharp edge.
DANGER!
G
If carbon components on your SCOTT bike produce any creaking or crack-
ing noises or show any external sign of damage, such as gouges, cracks,
dents, discolorations etc., do not use the SCOTT bike any longer. Contact your
SCOTT dealer immediately; he will check the component thoroughly.
DANGER!
G
Do not combine carbon handlebars with bar ends, unless they have been
specifically approved. Do not shorten carbon handlebars or clamp the
brake levers and shifters more in the middle than indicated or needed. Risk of
breakage!
DANGER!
G
Make sure all carbon clamping areas are absolutely free of grease and other
lubricants! Grease will penetrate the surface of the carbon material, thereby
reducing the coefficient of friction. This will no longer provide reliable clamping
within the prescribed torque values. Once greased, carbon components may
never again ensure reliable clamping! Use a special carbon assembly paste (b)
instead as offered by various manufacturers.
CAUTION!
A
Most clamps of bicycle carrier systems are potential sources of damage to
large-diameter frame tubes (c)! As a result thereof carbon frames can fail
during use without previous warning. However, there are special-purpose mod-
els which are suitable, available in the car accessory trade. Inform yourself there
or ask your SCOTT dealer for advice.
