Make sure the stem is firmly fixed by taking the front wheel between your legs
and trying to turn the handlebars and stem relative to the wheel (d). If there is
movement, you have to increase the torque value. Do not exceed the maximum
torque value.
If the handlebars are still too high or too low, you can replace the stem. This can
be quite a big job, as it may mean taking off and remounting all the fittings on
the handlebars. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice about the different types of
stems.
DANGER!
G
Never ride a SCOTT bike with a stem that has been drawn out beyond the
mark for the maximum permissible height (a)! Check all bolted connections
and test your brakes before you set off!
CAUTION!
A
Never try to unscrew the top race of the headset when you only want to
adjust the stem, as you will otherwise alter the bearing play!
Stems - adjustable
There are various solutions for adjusting the tilt of the front part of adjustable
stems (e):
Some designs use bolts on the sides of the joint (f), others have bolts coming
from above or below, and others again are equipped with additional locking
mechanisms or adjusting bolts.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment of your
stem or, still better, let him do that work.
For more information see the chapter “Adjustment of the height of the handle-
bars” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
CAUTION!
A
If you choose to use the product of another manufacturer, make sure it is
compatible with the SCOTT/SYNCROS components. SCOTT assumes no
responsibility for problems resulting from the use of non-SCOTT/SYNCROS
products. Make sure the handlebar/stem-combination is approved by the han-
dlebar and/or stem manufacturer.
CAUTION!
A
Make sure the handlebar clamping area is free of sharp edges.
Stems - conventional
Handlebars with conventional stems allow limited vertical adjustment. This is
done by moving the stem up or down inside the fork steerer tube (a).
Release the expander bolt by two to three complete turns. The stem should
now turn freely inside the fork. If it does not, release the bolt by tapping it gently
with a rubber hammer (b). With Allen bolts, you need to stick the Allen key into
its head first, as it is normally countersunk and therefore impossible to be hit
directly.
Now you can move the handlebar/stem-unit up and down as a whole. Be sure
not to pull out the stem too far. The mark on the stem (end, min, max, stop, limit
or the like) should always remain within the tube. Setting the stem to a lower
position can only add to your safety!
Realign the handlebars with the front wheel (c). Make sure the front wheel is in
alignment with the handlebars and the stem. Retighten the expander bolt with a
torque wrench.
Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value in small
steps (0.5 Nm increments) and check in between the proper fit of the compo-
nent. Never exceed the maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer!
You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque set-
tings for your SCOTT bike”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals
of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
