ADJUSTING THE SCOTT TOY BICYCLE TO YOUR CHILD
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check
as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and let your child do a
test ride in an area free of traffic. This helps you to check all points once again
without running any risk.
If you are not sure, we recommend that you only check the seating position. Tell
your SCOTT dealer what your child wants to change. They will see to the wishes
of your child the next time you leave the bicycle at the workshop, e.g. for the
first inspection.
DANGER!
G
All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic
and appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections
always with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit and check
the fit of the component in between. Use a torque wrench (a) and never exceed
the maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter
Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT toy bicycle”, directly on the
components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEATING POSITION
Adjusting the SCOTT toy bicycle to the bodily proportions of a child is even
more important than in the case of an adult. When determining the saddle
height you should find a compromise that allows your child to reach the ground
with both feet when sitting in the saddle while at the same time giving them
enough space for pedalling (b).
Adjustment of the saddle to the correct height
The correct saddle height is achieved when the leg of your child is fully
stretched and positioned with his/her heel on the pedal in its lowest position. In
a cross-check the knee should be slightly bent, when the ball of your child’s foot
is positioned above the middle of the pedal (c).
Make sure that the pelvis of your child remains horizontal during the check. Fin-
ish by checking that your child still reaches the ground. If he/she does not, lower
the saddle a little.
To adjust the saddle height you have to loosen the binder bolt of the seat post
(d). Loosen the binder bolt by using the suitable tool and turn it anticlockwise
by two to three turns.
The loosened seat post can now be adjusted in height.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark on the seat post (end,
min, max, stop, limit etc.) should always remain within the seat tube (e).
Make sure that the part of the seat post inside the seat tube is always well
greased. If the seat post does not move easily inside the seat tube or if it cannot
be tightened sufficiently, ask your SCOTT dealer for advice! Do not use brute
force!
Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom brack-
et or top tube as a reference point.
Retighten the seat post. Tighten the seat post binder bolt in half turns clockwise
(f). You should not need much strength in your hands to clamp the seat post
sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not match the frame.
Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the
saddle at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube.
If it does rotate, gently retighten the clamping bolt by half a turn and do the
check again.
Due to their restricted field of view, children should sit as upright as possible.
If the distance between the handlebars and the saddle is too big, your child is
less relaxed than he/she could be. Therefore, there are some models where the
saddle can be adjusted.
