If necessary, correct the position by means of the limit screws. The limit screws
on rear derailleurs are often marked “H” for high gear and “L” for low gear. High
gear means that the chain is running on the smallest sprocket. Turn the screw
clockwise to move the rear derailleur towards the wheel and anticlockwise to
move it away from the wheel (e).
Shift to the largest (inmost) sprocket and check whether the teeth of the
sprocket and the teeth of the guide pulley are all in a perfectly vertical line (f).
Turn the limit screw marked “L” clockwise until the rear derailleur stops moving
towards the spokes and can neither be moved by actuating the shift lever nor
by pushing it with your hand. Turn the cranks carefully.
This adjustment prevents the chain from getting stuck between sprocket and
spokes or the rear derailleur or the derailleur cage from touching the spokes,
which could result in damage to the spokes, the rear derailleur and the frame. In
the worst case, this could result in a fall or accident.
DANGER!
g
If your SCOTT bike has tipped over or the rear derailleur received a blow,
the rear derailleur or its mount, also referred to as the derailleur hanger,
might be bent. Risk of material failure and accident. It is advisable to check its
range of movement and readjust the limit screws, if necessary, after such an
incident or after mounting a new rear wheel on your bike.
CAUTION!
A
Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your
bicycle.
CAUTION!
A
Let your SCOTT dealer maintain and service your SCOTT bike regularly.
NOTE!
I
For your own safety, bring your SCOTT bike to your SCOTT dealer for its
first inspection after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of initial use or
four to six weeks, and at the very latest after three months.
Adjusting the rear derailleur
Increase the tension of the Bowden cable by turning the adjustable cable stop
at the shifter lever (a) or the adjusting bolt through which it runs into the rear
derailleur (b). To do so, shift to the smallest sprocket and turn the bolts anti-
clockwise in half turns until the cable is slightly tensioned. After tensioning the
Bowden cable check whether the chain immediately climbs onto the next larger
sprocket. To find out you either have to turn the cranks by hand (c) or ride your
SCOTT bike and shift through the gears.
If the chain easily climbs onto the next larger sprocket, check whether it just as
easily shifts to the small sprockets. If it does not, release the respective adjusting
bolt a little. You may need several tries.
CAUTION!
A
Adjusting the front and rear derailleur accurately is a job for an experienced
mechanic. Observe in any case the manual of the gear manufacturer on this
SCOTT info CD. If you have any problems with the gears, contact your SCOTT
dealer.
NOTE!
I
Ask a helper to lift the rear wheel or hang the SCOTT bike into a work stand.
By turning the cranks and shifting through you can easily check the func-
tion.
Adjusting the limit stops
The rear derailleur is equipped with limit screws (d) which limit the movement
range of the derailleur, thus preventing the derailleur and chain from colliding
with the spokes or the chain from dropping off the smallest sprocket. The limit
screws are adjusted by your SCOTT dealer. They do not alter their position dur-
ing normal use.
