DANGER!
G
Adjusting the front derailleur is a very delicate job. Improper adjustment
can cause the chain to jump off, thus interrupting the power train. Risk of
falling!
CAUTION!
A
Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your
bicycle.
Shimano Di2
Adjustment and maintenance
If you wish, your SCOTT dealer can also change the functioning of the Di2
control buttons (e). The change has to be done with a special test device from
Shimano which is also used for troubleshooting.
If you have smaller hands and want to position the levers closer to the han-
dlebars, there are special adjusting screws on the handlebars. The handling
of these screws is described in the chapter “Brake lever reach adjustment on
SCOTT road bikes and SCOTT cyclo-cross bikes”.
To adjust the rear derailleur shift into one of the middle gears. Press the button
at the front switch under the handlebars until the control lamp illuminates red
(f). The fine adjustment of the rear derailleur can now be carried out. Turn the
crank and listen to the noise of the chain while running.
If there is a noise when the chain rolls off, press the front lever. With every push
the rear derailleur moves inward by one decimillimetre. If the noise gets louder,
press the rear lever.
The rear derailleur moves outwards in steps of one decimillimetre. Once the
chain runs quietly, press the button at the switch once again, the red light goes
out. Finish by shifting through all the gears to check the proper functioning.
Carefully shift through the gears until the chain runs on the biggest sprocket. If
the shifting is not smooth, readjust once again.
NOTE!
I
Let your SCOTT dealer maintain and service your SCOTT road bike regularly.
Adjusting the front derailleur
The range within which the front derailleur (a) keeps the chain on the chainring
without itself touching the chain is very small. If the chain tends to jump off the
chainring, you will need to reduce the movement range in the same way as with
the rear derailleur, i.e. by turning the limit screws marked “H“ and “L(b). The
limit screws are adjusted by your SCOTT dealer. They do not alter their position
during normal use.
Start by shifting to the large chainring (front) and the smallest sprocket (rear)
(c). Turn in the outer limit screw (“H“) exactly to the point where the chain does
not touch the front derailleur, even under heavy load. And only at the point
where the chain does not move any more from the middle to the large chain-
ring, the limit screw can be released a little.
Continue by shifting to the smallest chainring (front) and the biggest sprocket
(rear). Turn in the inner limit screw (“L“) exactly to the point where the chain
does not touch the front derailleur. And only at the point where the chain does
not move any more from the middle to the small chainring, the limit screw can
be released a little.
This adjustment prevents the chain from falling off, which would suddenly inter-
rupt the drive involving the risk of an accident. In cases of doubt this adjustment
is a job best left to your SCOTT dealer.
As with the rear derailleur, the cable of the front derailleur is subject to length-
ening which leads to a reduced precision in gear changing. If necessary, shift to
the small chainring and increase the tension of the Bowden cable by turning the
adjusting bolt through which it passes at the entry to the downtube cable stop.
DANGER!
G
Always check after an accident whether the guide plates of the front derail-
leur are still parallel to the chainrings (d). Make sure they do not touch the
large chainring which would block the drive. Risk of accident!
