SADDLE HEIGHT SUSPENSIONS ON SCOTT BIKES

GEARS

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 sad dle. Place the ball of your fo ot on the pedal nearest to the ground. Make sure the cranks are ver tical.

2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degree s, 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 seat clamp 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.

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.

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 sp rocket

- Smallest c hain whee l — smallest sprocket

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.
