SUSPENSIONS ON SCOTT BIKES
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Scott bicycle! We are confident that the bicycle will exceed your
expectations for value, performance, and ride quality.
Each frame set and component has been custom specified and designed to enhance your riding experience.
Whether you are a beginning cyclist, or a seasoned pro..
Scott bicycles will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.
We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this
manual and familiarise yourself with your new bicycle. If
you have purchased a bike for your children, please take
the time to make sure they understand the information
contained in this Owner’s Manual.
Important!
If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is
essential that a responsible adult/parent thoroughly reviews and reads the Owner’s Manual to
the minor.
Please make sure to get your Scott bike completely
assembled from your authorized Scott dealer.
This is very important for optimum performance and
safety and guarantees you a long lasting joy while riding
your bike.
It is important to understand the basics of riding a bicycle, but it is equally important to exercise common sense
when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and requires
reacting to varying situations. Like any sports, cycling
involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a
bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk.
Important!
Please use the bike of your choice only for the purpose it was made for.
E.g. a road racing bike can not be used to substitute a mountain bike in off road terrain or a Trekking
bike can not be used for downhill racing or road
racing.
If you have questions or problems regarding your new
Scott bicycle, please contact your Authorised Dealer.
Ride Frequently!
CONGRATULATIONS! BICYCLE SAFETY
Saddle height
Comfortable riding not only depends on the position of
the saddle, but also on its height. You can accurately
adjust the height of the saddle to the length of your legs
when you proceed as follows:
1. Straddle the saddle. Place the ball of your foot on
the pedal nearest to the ground. Make sure the
cranks are vertical.
2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degrees, the height of the saddle is correct.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the limit mark on your seat post is inside the seat tube. If it is not possible to reach the correct
seat height, you have to choose a size above.
Make sure that this mark is inserted into the frame.
If you need to change the inclination of the saddle or the
horizontal position, please make sure not to exceed the
max. tightening torque.
Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, M8
with 20 Nm.
Please make sure the saddle is connected perfect with
the seat post before every ride.
Please note that Scott is not responsible for damages
caused by neglecting the tightening torques on the
seatclamp fixing screws.
If you have chosen a Scott bike equipped with a suspension fork, please refer to the enclosed instructions of the
manufacturer.
For the adjustment of the rear suspension on a fully
suspension bike, please refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer of the suspension elements, and to the
Scott instructions for full suspension bikes. Both booklets are enclosed with the bike.
Only a well adjusted suspension brings security, comfort
and fun.
SADDLE HEIGHT
1. Obey all traffic laws,
2. Make sure that the bike size is right for the rider, and
that he can reach brake levers properly,
3. Make sure that the brakes and the bicycle work perfectly well (cf maintenance),
4. Always have a light at night and install reflectors properly,
5. Never ride two people on a bicycle designed for one
(except specially designed and properly installed child
carriers.),
6. Never hitch a ride on another vehicle,
7. Do not weave or race in traffic,
8. Watch out for parked cars (door can be opened at any
time) and cars pulling into traffic,
9. Use proper signals when turning,
10. Mount loads securely. Never carry packages that
interfere with brakes or vision,
11. Always wear a helmet.

Introduction on derailleur
The front and the rear derailleur have already been
adjusted by your Scott dealer. Therefore, no readjustment will be necessary to begin with. However, it is
advisable to check the adjustment of the gear change
mechanism regularly.
When the gear lever is fully pushed towards the front,
the chain should be below the smallest or the biggest
sprocket.
When the adjustment of the derailleur is inaccurate, for
example when the chain is a little slack, it can jump off
either between the biggest sprocket and the spoke on
the left side and/or between the smallest sprocket and
the frame on the right side. This can lead to severe
damages and/or a fall.
The adjustment of the rear derailleur must not be too
slack (causing the chain to derail), nor too tight. In the
latter case, chain noise occurs when the chain is on the
smallest or largest sprocket. The stroke of the derailleur
can be limited both on the left and the right side by
means of two limit screws.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE FRONT
DERAILLEUR
Usually, the front derailleur is secured to the seat tube
with a clamping strip, fitted with a bolt. As a result the
derailleur can be moved up/down and turned, the front
derailleur can be adjusted in such a way that the chain
does not derail when the derailleur is in its highest position. The derailleur should not protrude beyond the largest chain wheel by more than 2 mm and must not touch
the pedal crank. For correct adjustment proceed as follows.
Die Einstellschraube soweit nach rechts anziehen, bis die Kette
auf den zweiten Zahnkranz zurück springt.
Die Schraube soweit nach links lösen, bis die Kette den dritten
Zahnkranz streift.

OWNER MANUAL 2005
All Scott bikes are fitted with a so-called index rear
derailleur. This derailleur can be positioned exactly
below the required sprocket through pre programmed
“clicking”. Changing gears is easy with the index system, provided it is properly adjusted. Contrary to the
adjustment of any ordinary derailleur, the adjustment of
the index derailleur requires special attention and is
therefore best left to your Scott dealer. Should you
nevertheless want to adjust the index system yourself,
proceed as follows:
1. Change to the largest gear (smallest rear sprocket).
2. Drive the pedals forward a few times. In case of
chain noise, adjust the derailleur with the adjusting
screws.
3. Pull the derailleur control cable tight and secure it
with the cable screw in the rear derailleur to tighten
the cable screw even further.
4. Use the shift lever to change to the next sprocket.
There should be no chain noise. If necessary, adjust
the cable screw.

How to use the B-tension adjustment screw
Mount the chain on the smallest
chainring and the largest sprocket,
and turn the crank arm backward.
Then turn the B-tension adjustment
screw to adjust the guide pulley as
close to the sprocket as possible but
not so close that it touches. Next, set
the chain to the smallest sprocket and
repeat the above to make sure that
the pulley does not touch the sprocket.

1. Mount the front derailleur on the seat tube (without
chain) and turn it in a temporary position,
2. Check that the chain guide does not protrude beyond
the largest chain wheel by more than 2 mm. The
chain guide must not touch the chain wheels,
3. The chain guide must run parallel to the chain
wheels. Check above,
4. Tighten the frame bolt and change to the smallest
gear (smallest chain wheel, larger rear sprocket). In
this position, the chain must almost run against the
chain guide inner blade,
5. Tighten the front derailleur control cable and secure
with the pinch bolt,
6. Change to the highest gear (largest chain wheel,
smallest sprocket). In this position the chain must
almost run against the chain guide outer plate of the
right pedal crank,
7. Adjust both highest positions of the front derailleur
with the adjusting screws,
8. Change the chain to the smallest and the largest
gear. In both gears, the front derailleur must
smoothly and immediately change the chain from
the smallest to the largest chain wheel and vice
versa.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
OPERATION RAPIDFIRE PLUS
SYSTEM
Regularly check that your chain is clean and well-lubricated. Have your dealer check the chain for wear.
Should you nevertheless want to check it yourself, you
need to purchase the Rohloff Chain Caliber 2 from your
Scott Dealer. This caliber will help you to work out whether your chain is too slack of not.
Caution!
Do not press both right hand change control levers or
both left hand change control levers at the same time.
Damage to the change control may result.
Rear lever Operation
For both lever A and lever B, the lever always returns to
the initial position when it is released after changing.
To change from a small sprocket to a larger sprocket
To change one gear step, press lever A to position 1; to
change two, three or four gear steps at one time, press
lever A to position 2, 3 or 4 respectively. A maximum of
four step change can be operated in this manner.
To change from a larger sprocket to a smaller
sprocket
When lever B is pulled once and is then released, there
is one step change from a large gear to a smaller gear.
Front Lever operation
For both lever A and lever B, the lever always returns to
the initial position when it is released after changing.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FRONT
DERAILLEUR
Note
this procedure applies for both two and three-ringed
pedal cranks with round chain wheel.
Caution!
To avoid excessive wear and damage of the chain,
sprockets and chain wheels, we advise against the following combinations (see illustrations):
– Largest chain wheel – largest sprocket
– Smallest chain wheel – smallest sprocket
