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. For instance 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.

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.

For more information concerning the shifting system please read the manual of the shifting components producer attached to your bike.

CHANGING GEARS

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

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

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 or not.
