4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to
a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with
your heel (d). The hips should remain horizontal. Check whether your toes
reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle. Your SCOTT dealer will
be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider.
5. If your SCOTT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals (e): Have you
ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise locking
one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other leg.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust them to your
needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when
you are riding with your hands on aero bars or on triathlon bars. The brake
levers are not always within easy reach.
DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube (f) so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your
bicycle quickly.
DANGER!
G
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in
wet conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well
below the speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal
requirements. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of
your SCOTT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete (a).
Ask your SCOTT dealer concerning the laws and regulations applicable in
your country or in the country you intend to use your SCOTT bike. Have your
SCOTT bike equipped accordingly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on pub-
lic roads“.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system (b)? Have a look at the SCOTT bike
card and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you
are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the
brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more pow-
erful than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the
brakes on a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher
brake performances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears (c)? Ask your
SCOTT dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with
your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
