ROAD BIKE | OWNER’S MANUAL 2017OWNER’S MANUAL 2017 | ROAD BIKE
| 86
Pay particular attention when switching to the small gears, making sure the
rear derailleur does not get too close to the spokes as the chain climbs onto
the larger sprockets (e).
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear derail-
leur may collide with the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear derailleur,
the rear wheel or the frame. Check the function of the front derailleur, as a
displaced front derailleur can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive
of your SCOTT bike. Risk of falling!
For more information see the chapter “Gears” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
4. Make sure the saddle is not out of alignment (f) using the top tube or the
bottom bracket shell as a reference. If necessary, open the clamping, realign
the saddle and retighten the clamping.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rid-
er” and “Using quick-releases and thru axles” and the manuals of the compo-
nent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any
rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. Finally, take a good look at the whole SCOTT bike to detect any deformations,
colour changes or cracks.
DANGER!
g
Ride back very carefully by taking the shortest route possible, even if your
SCOTT bike went through this check without any problems. Do not acceler-
ate or brake hard and do not ride your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt
about the performance of your SCOTT bike, have yourself picked up by car
instead of taking any risk.
DANGER!
g
Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thoroughly. Damaged
parts must be repaired or replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice. For
more information on carbon components see the chapter “Carbon – a particular
material” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info
CD.
TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the drop-outs (a) and
whether the rims are still centred with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the
wheels and observe the gap either between brake pads and rim sides (b)
or between frame and tyre. If you have rim brakes and the width of the gap
changes markedly and you have no way to true the rim where you are, you
need to open the brakes a little with the special device so that the rim can run
between the brake pads without touching them. Please note that in this case
the brakes may not act as powerfully as you are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes, have the wheels trued by
your SCOTT dealer immediately after you are back home.
For more information see the chapters “Brakes”, “Using quick-releases and
thru axles” and “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of the component manu-
facturers on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither twisted nor bent or broken and
that they are level and aligned. Make sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork
by trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel (c). Briefly lean on
the brake levers to make sure the handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently tighten the bolts to ensure
a reliable clamping of the components (d). The maximum torque values are
printed directly on the components or specified in the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rid-
er” and “The headset on the SCOTT bike” and the manuals of the component
manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the sprockets. If your
SCOTT bike fell over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning of the
gears. Ask somebody to lift your SCOTT bike by the saddle and carefully shift
through all the gears.
