The rim may sustain damage and the inner tube may burst, thus causing an
accident. Always use both brakes simultaneously and release them intermittent-
ly to allow the material to cool off. If you are in doubt, stop and let them cool
down.
DANGER!
G
Check the condition of the brake pads at short intervals, as they might wear
down faster than with aluminium rims.
DANGER!
G
Please note that wet weather reduces the braking effect considerably. Do
not go for a ride, when it is about to rain or in wet conditions. Nevertheless,
if you find yourself with your road bike on a wet or moist road, ride particularly
carefully and at clearly reduced speed.
DANGER!
g
Carbon rims are sensitive to heat. The glue of the tubular tyre can loosen
or the tube of a clincher or folding tyre can bust. Always use both brakes
simultaneously and release them intermittently to allow the material to cool off.
If you are in doubt, stop and let them cool down.
REPAIRING TYRE PUNCTURES
Punctures during cycling are the most common cause for flat tyres. However, as
long as you have the necessary tools and a spare tube or a repair kit, this need
not mean the end of your cycle ride. If your wheels are attached with quick-re-
leases to the frame and the fork, you only need two tyre levers and a pump (f).
NOTE!
I
Before removing a wheel, read the chapters “Remounting the wheel” and
Using quick-releases and thru axles”. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
The maximum overall weight of 120 kg / 264 lbs including rider, luggage
(rucksack) and SCOTT road bike must not be exceeded. Trailer towing is not
permitted in general. Also observe the manuals of the wheel manufacturer on
this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Check the condition of the brakes and make sure you only ride with brake
pads that are suitable for carbon rims!
CAUTION!
A
Observe possible weight restrictions in the case of carbon wheels. For more
information see the manuals of the wheel manufacturers on this SCOTT info
CD.
CAUTION!
A
The wheels are exclusively for use in road races (a) and triathlon sports. The
wheels are not suitable for riding on unpaved roads, off-road and for jumps
etc. In addition, they are not suitable for towing a trailer (b) and for riding with
heavy luggage.
Particularities of braking with carbon wheels
As the braking surfaces are made of carbon (c), there are some things to keep
in mind. Only use the brake pads of wheel manufacturers (d) that are suitable
for carbon wheels, as they are designed to suit such types of rims.
Carbon brake pads usually wear down faster than conventional brake pads.
Keep in mind that the braking response of the rims needs getting used to, in
particular in wet conditions. Therefore, test your brakes in a place free of traffic
until you have full control of your bike.
The brake surfaces of the carbon rims (e) are sensitive to heat. Therefore, when
you are riding in the mountains, avoid any drag braking. Riding downhill e.g.
with a permanently activated rear wheel brake might lead to a heating up of the
material and thus to a deformation.
