CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Although the chain is one of the wearing components of your SCOTT bike, there
are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated regular-
ly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which run the chain in
the straightest line between the sprockets and chainrings and get into the habit
of high cadence pedalling.
Chains on bicycles with derailleur gears are worn out after approx. 1,000 to
3,500 km or 50 to 125 hours of use. Heavily stretched chains impair the op-
eration of derailleur gears. Cycling with a worn-out chain also accelerates the
wear of the sprockets and chainrings. Replacing these components is relatively
expensive compared with the costs of a new chain. It is therefore advisable to
check the condition of the chain at regular intervals.
Your SCOTT dealer has accurate measuring instruments to check the chain
wear (c). Replacing the chain should ideally be left to an expert, as this requires
special tools. In addition, you need to select a chain matching your gear system
(d+e).
DANGER!
G
An improperly joined or heavily worn chain can break and cause an acci-
dent.
NOTE!
I
When replacing your chain, only use appropriate and suitable original spare
parts (f). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you.

For easy setting of the tension download the Gates Carbon Drive iP-
hone®-App (available free of charge in the iTunes® App Store), use the
Carbon Drive Krikit Gauge or the Eco Tension Tester (available in Europe at
present).

BICYCLE CHAIN
Regular and correct lubrication of your bicycle chain ensures enjoyable riding
and prolongs its service life. It is not the quantity but the distribution and regular
application of lubricant that counts. Clean the dirt and oil off your chain with a
slightly oily rag from time to time (a). Special degreasers are not necessary; they
even have a damaging effect.
Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible, apply chain oil, wax or
grease to the chain links (b). To lubricate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the
rollers of the lower run of the chain while you turn the crank. Once this is done,
turn the cranks a few more times; then let your SCOTT bike rest for a few min-
utes so that the lubricant can disperse. Finally wipe off excess lubricant with a
rag so that it does not spatter around during riding or can collect road dirt.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the braking surfaces of the rims, the rotors and the brake pads
remain clear of lubricants, otherwise the brake can fail!
NOTE!
I
For the sake of the environment, use biodegradable lubricants only. Bear in
mind that some of the lubricant can end up on the ground, especially in wet
conditions.
