Depending on the gear system, gear shifting is initiated by actuating a brake
lever/shifter unit (c) or a shifter (d) in the case of flat bars. Continue pedalling
during gear shifting, however, at reduced pedalling force.
The most common brake lever/shifter units and their operation are explained in
the following. It is, however, also possible that your new SCOTT road bike has a
gear system that is not mentioned below.
In the case of Campagnolo Ergopower (e) you shift with the shifter located be-
hind the brake lever to the larger chainrings or sprockets by moving it with the
index or middle finder inwards. By pressing with the thumb on the shifter inside
the unit the chain moves on the smaller chainrings or sprockets. By pressing the
shifter once you can shift up to two chainrings or three sprockets at a time.
In the case of Shimano Dual Control (f) brake lever/shifter units you shift to the
larger chainrings or sprockets by moving the entire brake lever inwards. You can
shift up to two chainrings or three sprockets per gear shift. By moving the small
lever alone that is located behind the brake lever the chain moves towards the
smaller chainrings or sprockets, but only one sprocket per tap.
The Shimano Di2 is the electronic version of the high-quality drive groups from
Shimano. Instead of cables the signal is transmitted by wires. The rear and the
front derailleurs are moved by small electrical motors. The power supply is
provided by a rechargeable battery that is mounted to the frame or in the seat
post.
The shifters are positioned and actuated like the mechanical gears:
With a Di2 you must only press control buttons, instead of pressing the entire
brake lever or the lever positioned behind inward as is the case with usual dual
control shifters from Shimano. Shift to the larger sprockets by pressing the long
control button on the side of the brake lever. When you press the triangular
control button that is behind the brake lever the chain moves onto the smaller
cogwheels.
NOTE!
I
Read in any case carefully the manual of the gear manufacturer on this
SCOTT info CD. Make yourself familiar with your new gears in an area free of
traffic, if necessary. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
Operation and control
Derailleur gears always work according to the following principle:
Large front chainring – high/heavy gear – higher gear ratio
Small front chainring – low/easy gear – lower gear ratio
Large rear sprocket – low/easy gear – lower gear ratio
Small rear sprocket – high/heavy gear – higher gear ratio
Normally, the shifters are mounted as follows:
Shift lever right – rear sprockets
Shift lever left – front chainrings
Modern SCOTT road bikes can have up to 33 gears. As there are, however,
overlapping ranges, actually 15 to 18 gears are usable. It is not advisable to use
gears which involve an extremely oblique run of the chain, as this reduces power
transmission efficiency and hastens wear of the chain.
The chain runs unfavourably when the smallest chainring is used with one of the
two or three outermost (smallest) sprockets (a) or when the largest chainring is
used with one of the inmost (largest) sprockets (b).
The bottom bracket is the interface between cranks and frame. There are dif-
ferent designs, in some cases the bearing spindle is part of the bottom bracket,
in some other cases it is integrated into the right crank. Sealed bottom brackets
are maintenance free and delivered without play ex works. The bottom bracket
in the frame must be checked for play at regular intervals.
Also check at regular intervals whether the cranks are firmly attached to the
bearing spindle or whether there is play. Grab the crank and try to jiggle it
forcefully. It must be absolutely free of play. If you notice any play, contact your
SCOTT dealer immediately.
