DANGER!
G
Taking up the pedals, engaging and disengaging the shoes should first be
practised when stationary. Later on you can refine your technique in a place
clear of traffic.
DANGER!
G
Only use clipless pedals allowing you to engage and disengage smoothly
(e). A defective pedal or a badly worn cleat can make the shoe disengage
from the pedal. Or unclipping the shoe from the pedal is sometimes very diffi-
cult or even impossible. In both cases there is the danger of a fall!
DANGER!
G
Make sure that the pedals and shoe soles are always clear of mud and other
foreign bodies and grease the lock-in mechanism with lubricant at regular
intervals.
DANGER!
G
Some cycling shoes with cleats are only suitable for walking to a limited
extent. As the cleats are sometimes thicker than the sole, they provide less
grip even on a non-slip ground. Be particularly careful.
DANGER!
G
Some mountain bike pedals, also referred to as platform pedals (f), are
designed for maximum grip of the shoes when dirtbiking and freeriding. For
this reason they have sharp edges and/or bolted pins. As they enhance the risk
of injuries during riding, you should wear protective clothing, e.g. knee and shin
guards.
NOTE!
I
Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice about the different shoe and pedal mod-
els. Cycling shoes come in various styles for specific uses.
NOTE!

Read the manual of the pedal manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
PEDALS AND SHOES
Cycling shoes (a) should be made of solid material to provide firm support for
your feet. In addition, they should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot
press through. The sole should not be too wide in the area of the heels, as the
rear stays or the crank will otherwise get in the way of your pedalling. This will
prevent your feet from assuming a natural position when pedalling and may
cause knee pain in the long run. Your SCOTT dealer has a wide range of shoes
available and will be pleased to advise you.
Special cycling shoes are obligatory, if your SCOTT bike is equipped with clip-
less pedals. With these shoes cleats are fixed to the sole. They give you a firm
connection between shoe and pedal and allow depending on the model an at
least acceptable walking position.
The main advantage is that these clipless pedals (b+c) prevent your feet from
slipping off when pedalling fast. They enable you not only to push but also to
pull the pedals. This makes your pedalling more smooth and increases the pow-
er transmission compared to normal pedals.
The usual way to engage with the pedal is to turn it from the lowest position of
the crank to the horizontal using the tip of the cleat and push down on the back
of it. Normally, the shoe engages with the pedal with a click which you will hear
and feel clearly.
The release force of clipless pedals is adjusted by means of an Allen key (d). At
the beginning the setting should allow an easy release. Once you have more
practice, you can tighten the setting.
If there are any creaking or squeaking noises, which occur, some grease will
solve the problem in most cases. These noises as well as lateral play of the shoe
on the pedal can, however, also be signs of wear. Check the cleats at regular
intervals.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the fastening bolts of the cleats are properly tightened, as you
will find it almost impossible to disengage your shoe from the pedal if the
Libble takes abuse of its services very seriously. We're committed to dealing with such abuse according to the laws in your country of residence. When you submit a report, we'll investigate it and take the appropriate action. We'll get back to you only if we require additional details or have more information to share.
