ADJUSTING THE SCOTT BIKE TO THE RIDER
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your
SCOTT bike. Make particularly sure there is enough space between your
crotch and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off
your bike quickly (b).
By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you
will be riding in (c+d). However, some components of your SCOTT bike are
especially designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to
a certain degree.
This includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake
levers.
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools (e) and skills, you
should restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your SCOTT
dealer, if you are not happy with your seating position or if you want something
changed. They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your SCOTT bike
at the workshop, e.g. for the first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check
as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test ride on your
SCOTT bike in an area free of traffic (f).
DANGER!
g
If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot col-
liding with the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly
adjusted.
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 and never exceed the
maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Rec-
ommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike, directly on the components
and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether
the saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame (a).
DANGER!
G
Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side
opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel
accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of SCOTT bikes with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount both
quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you not
to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having
your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first, whether the
wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-release the
wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock the
frame to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it
outside. Anti-theft protection!
NOTE!
I
To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen
key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
g
After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the
pressure point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars.
In the case of hydraulic brakes pump them, if necessary, until you reach a pre-
cise pressure point.
