Checking the back-pedal brakes
Turn the cranks with the pedals backwards. The brake must respond after 60
degrees at the latest. If it does not, the brake may be defective or the chain too
slack.
Readjustment of the chain tension
With back-pedal brakes the chain tension has to be checked regularly. You
should not be able to pull the chain upwards by more than two centimetres in
the middle between sprocket and chainring. Make sure there is no excessive
chain slack! For more details read the chapter “Bicycle chain”.
Before adjusting the chain tension appropriately, release the brake torque arm
(a) and the wheel nuts (b). Tension the chain before tightening the wheel nuts
by pulling the wheel to the rear. Make sure there is not more than two centime-
tres of play midway between sprockets and chainring.
Check the centred position of the wheel between the drop-outs. Tighten the
wheel nuts and the bolts of the torque support to the specified torque values
(see the chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT toy bicycle).
DANGER!
G
Check regularly whether the torque support (brake torque arm) (a) is firmly
attached to the frame or fork. Use a torque wrench (c) and never exceed
the maximum torque value!
DANGER!
G
Keep in mind that the back-pedal brake is ineffective with a fallen-off chain.
Risk of an accident!
BICYCLE CHAIN
Regular and correct lubrication of your bicycle chain ensures enjoyable riding
and prolongs its service life. It is not the quantity but the distribution and regular
application of lubricant that counts. Clean the dirt and oil off your chain with an
oily rag from time to time. Special degreasers are not necessary; they even have
a damaging effect.
Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible, apply chain oil, wax or
grease to the chain links (d). To lubricate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the
rollers of the lower run of the chain while you turn the crank. Once this is done,
turn the cranks a few more times; then let the bicycle rest for a few minutes so
that the lubricant can disperse.
Finally wipe off excess lubricant with a rag so that it does not spatter around
during riding or can collect road dirt.
Although the chain is one of the wearable parts of the bicycle, there are still
ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated regularly, espe-
cially after riding in the rain.
Your SCOTT dealer has accurate measuring instruments for checking the chain
wear (e). The replacement of the chain is a job for a skilled mechanic, as you
need specific tools.
DANGER!
G
Check the chain tension (f) according to the SCOTT service and mainte-
nance schedule. For more information see the chapter “Readjustment of
the chain tension”.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the braking surfaces of the rims and the brake pads remain clear
of lubricants, as the brakes will fail otherwise!
