If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether
the saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame (f).
DANGER!
G
Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side
opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel
accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of SCOTT bikes with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount both
quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you not
to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having
your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first, whether the
wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-release
the wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT road bike has thru axles, read the manuals of the thru-axle
and wheel manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock the
frame to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it
outside. Anti-theft protection!
NOTE!
I
To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen
key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the
pressure point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars.
In the case of hydraulic brakes pump them, if necessary, until you reach a pre-
cise pressure point.
DANGER!
G
Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long
down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool
down before opening the quick-release.
Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open(a) on the lever.
Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider
and “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on
this SCOTT info CD.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close“ on
the outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtu-
ally no resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/
fork (b).
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase signifi-
cantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use
the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the
fork (c) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle
(d), i.e. it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork
so that it cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is
easy to handle for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of
the hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed (e). If you can turn the lever
around, open it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the op-
posite side clockwise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it
again for tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the
ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will
remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any
rattling.
