CAUTION!
A
Do not pull the (disc) brake lever with a removed wheel and make sure to
mount the safety locks when removing the wheel for a longer period of
time.
NOTE!
I
Observe the manuals of the brake and gear manufacturers on this SCOTT
info CD.
CLINCHER AND FOLDING TYRES
Tyre removal
Remove the cap and the fastening nut off the valve and deflate the tyre com-
pletely. Press the tyre from the sides towards the centre of the rim around its
entire circumference. This will ease the removal.
Apply a plastic tyre lever to one bead of the tyre about 5 cm beside the valve
(d) and lever the tyre out of the rim in this area. Hold the tyre lever tight in its
position. Slip the second tyre lever between rim and tyre at a distance of about
ten centimetres on the other side of the valve and lever the next portion of the
bead over the edge of the rim (e).
After levering a part of the tyre bead over the edge of the rim you should
normally be able to slip off the whole tyre on one side by moving the tyre lever
around the whole circumference. Now you can remove the inner tube (f). Make
sure the valve does not get caught in the rim, as this can damage the inner tube.
If necessary you can remove the whole tyre by pulling the other tyre bead off
the rim.
Repair the puncture according to the manuals of the repair kit manufacturer or
replace the inner tube by a new one.
When you have removed the tyre, you should also check the rim tape. It should
lie squarely in the rim trough, covering all spoke nipples, and should neither be
damaged nor brittle.
REMOVING THE WHEEL
If you have typical road bike rim brakes, open the quick-release lever at the
brake (Shimano, SRAM) (a) or shift the pin in the brake lever/shifter unit on the
handlebars (Campagnolo) (b).
If your bicycle has cantilever and V-brakes you first have to unhook the brake
cable from the brake arm. To do this, grip the rim with one hand and press the
brake pads and/or arms together. In this position the usually barrel shaped
nipple of the lateral brake cable or the brake hose (of V-brakes) can easily be
disengaged.
If you have disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanic), check the position of the brake
pads through the inspection window. In this way you will be able to tell after the
removal whether the brake pads are still in their correct position. Read the brake
manufacturer’s manual.
If you have derailleur gears, you should shift the chain to the smallest sprock-
et before removing the rear wheel. This shifts the rear derailleur right to the
outside where it does not interfere with the removal of the wheel. Open the
quick-release of the wheel, as described in the chapterUsing quick-releases
and thru axles”.
If you cannot remove the wheel after releasing the nuts, this is due to the drop-
out safety tabs. They are metal catches which engage with recesses in the drop-
outs. Just release the quick-release adjusting nut a little and slip the wheel past
the tabs.
You will find it easier to remove the rear wheel, when you pull the rear derailleur
slightly backwards (c). Lift your SCOTT road bike a little off the ground and give
the wheel a light blow with your hand so that it drops out.
DANGER!
G
Rotors can become hot, so let them cool down before removing a wheel.
DANGER!
G
If you purchased a SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes, never turn your
SCOTT bike upside down for repair work, i.e. with the handlebars and sad-
dle underneath, otherwise the brake can fail.
