SUSPENSION ON SCOTT BIKES
GLOSSARY
Suspension fork (c)
Bicycle fork absorbing and damping shocks through moving components. The
most common among these forks are the telescopic suspension forks (d). What
is designated as stanchion tubes are the thinner tubes press fitted or screwed
to the fork crown of a telescopic fork. What is designated as lower leg are the
lower tubes in which the stanchion tubes slide in.
Spring rate or hardness
The force that is required to compress the spring by a certain suspension travel
– measured in Newton per millimetre (N/mm) or pound per inch (lbs/in). A
higher spring rate requires more force for the travel. With air springs a higher
rate means a higher pressure (e).
Spring preload
In the case of the widespread air suspension systems, the air pressure in the fork
is crucial for the spring rate and the spring preload. Observe your manufactur-
er’s recommendations.
Within a certain range a preload can be applied to the coil springs. Then the
suspension only reacts when a greater load is applied. The spring rate remains,
however, unaltered. Heavier riders cannot compensate a too soft spring rate
with a higher initial tension.
Negative suspension travel (sag”) (f)
The suspension travel that is taken up by the rear structure or the fork when the
rider takes up his or her usual riding position at a standstill. This is usually speci-
fied as a percentage of the overall suspension travel.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight line with the line of your
forearm (a). Retighten the units with a torque wrench and do a twist test! The
brake levers need not be absolutely tight. In case of a fall it is an advantage
when the brake levers can be turned.
DANGER!
G
Tighten the bolts at the stem until the clamping slots between the stem
body and the faceplate are parallel and identical in width at the top and at
the bottom. Tighten the bolts evenly and in a cross pattern, i.e. alternately and
gradually, to the lower value of the recommended torque values using a torque
wrench.
DANGER!
G
Note that the bolted connections of the stem, handlebars, bar ends and
brakes have to be turned to their prescribed torque values. Use a torque
wrench and never exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the pre-
scribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT
bike”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the component
manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
Bar ends
Bar ends (b) and multi-position handlebars give you additional ways of gripping
the handlebars.
The bar ends are mounted with a slight upward inclination. Never fix bar ends in
vertical position or with their ends pointing rearwards as this would increase the
risk of injury in the event of an accident.
DANGER!
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your pedelec increases, when
you are riding with your hands on bar ends or on multi-position handlebars.
The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
CAUTION!
A
If you want to mount multi-position handlebars or bar ends to the alumin-
ium or carbon handlebars of your SCOTT bike, inform yourself in advance
whether these components are permitted on your SCOTT bike. If necessary,
contact your SCOTT dealer before mounting.
