DANGER!
G
Adjusting the position of the brake pads relative to the rims requires a con-
siderable degree of skill. Replacing and adjusting the brake pads is a job
best left to your SCOTT dealer (a).
DANGER!
G
Have your rims regularly inspected and measured by the SCOTT dealer.
Synchronising and readjusting
Almost all brake designs have a bolt located next to one or both brake callipers
for adjusting the spring preload (b). Turn the bolt slowly and watch how the gap
changes between brake pads and rim.
Adjust the spring in a way that with an unapplied brake the gaps are equal on
either side and the brake pads touch the rim simultaneously during braking.
The position of the brake lever where the brake starts to act, also referred to as
pressure point, can be adjusted to the size of the hand as well as to individual
convenience by readjusting the brake cable. Make absolutely sure you cannot
pull the brake lever all the way to the handlebar grip. With an unapplied brake
the brake pads should not be too close to the rim sides, otherwise they could
drag along the rim during riding. Before doing this adjustment, observe the
notes in the chapter “Adjustment of the brake lever reach”.
To readjust the brakes, unscrew the knurled lock ring located at the point where
the brake cable enters the brake lever on the handlebars (c) or at the counter-
part of the cable (d). Unscrew the knurled, slotted adjusting bolt by a few turns.
This reduces the free travel of the brake lever. Keeping the adjusting bolt firm
and tighten the lock ring against the brake lever unit. This prevents the adjusting
bolt from coming loose by itself. Ensure that the slot of the bolt faces neither
forward nor upward, as this would permit water or dirt to enter more easily.
DANGER!
G
Always test the brakes’ function when stationary (e) after adjusting them,
making sure the brake pads engage fully with the rim when you pull them
hard.
DANGER!
G
Wet weather reduces the braking effect and the road grip of the tyres. In-
struct your child that he/she should be aware of longer stopping distances
when riding in the rain and that he/she should reduce the speed!
DANGER!
G
When replacing any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear the appro-
priate mark and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts. Your SCOTT
dealer will be pleased to help you.
DANGER!
G
Ensure that braking surfaces and brake pads are absolutely free of wax,
grease and oil. Risk of accident!
BACK-PEDAL BRAKES
This type of brake has an enclosed design. Some models are coupled with a hub
gear (f). The back-pedal brake is actuated by turning the pedals backwards.
With back-pedal brakes maximum braking force is achieved by stepping on one
of the pedals in its rearmost position with the cranks horizontal.
The risk of overheating is particularly high with these brake systems. Brake
overheating occurs on prolonged (steep) downhill rides with permanent brake
dragging. Brake fading is a result thereof which, in extreme cases, can lead to
brake failure.
Therefore, if you notice that the braking effect deteriorates, stop and let the
brake system cool down. Sometimes, it will be enough to operate the front and
rear brake in an alternating pattern. If that will not suffice, your child has to stop
for a couple of minutes before he/she sets off again.
