•BRAKES

Brakes (c+d) are used for adjusting one’s speed to the surrounding terrain and

traffic. In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring your SCOTT bike to a halt

as quickly as possible.

In the event of such emergency brakings, the rider’s weight shifts forward abruptly,

thus reducing the load on the rear wheel. The rate of deceleration is primarily lim-

ited by the danger of the rear wheel losing contact with the ground, resulting in an

overturning of the SCOTT bike and, secondly, by the grip of the tyres on the road

(e). Such a problem becomes particularly acute when riding downhill. Therefore, in

case of an emergency braking you should try to shift your weight towards the rear

and the ground as far as possible.

Actuate both brakes simultaneously (f) and bear in mind that, due to the weight

transfer, the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect on a surface with

good grip.

The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces and when it is wet or dirty differ, i.e.

overbraking the front wheel can make the wheel slip away.

Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for the first time. Prac-

tice braking on different kinds of surfaces in an area free of traffic.

For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in your detailed SCOTT owner’s

manual as well as in the manuals of the component manufacturers on the enclosed

SCOTT info CD.

•WARNING: The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g.

left lever acts on front brake. Have a look at the SCOTT bike card and check

whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you are used to (right

or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the brake levers before you

set off for the first time.

•WARNING: Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practice

emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling

your SCOTT bike. This can save you from having accidents in road traffic.

•WARNING: Wet weather reduces the braking effect and the road grip of

the tyres. Be aware of longer stopping distances when riding in the rain, reduce

your speed and actuate the brakes carefully.

•WARNING: Full suspension frames are designed to absorb shocks. If the

rear shock is too rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly

into the frame without any damping. This could damage the rear shock itself as

well as the frame. If your rear shock has a lockout mechanism, do not activate

the lockout function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over

smooth terrain (roads, field tracks).

•WARNING: The rear shock should be set up and adjusted in a way that it

does not reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases

(a). A spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard

or felt as a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete

compression of the suspension strut as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension

strut frequently reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so

will the frame.

•WARNING: A too strong damping of the rear frame can result in a sluggish

rebound movement with a suspension strut that will not recover when exposed

to a quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!

•WARNING: Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not

with tools, in the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening

the fastening mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers

normally mark adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger

damping/harder suspension) and “-” signs (b).

CAUTION: Rear shock manufacturers normally include manuals with their

deliveries. You find these manuals on the enclosed SCOTT info CD. Read these

carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance work on your

rear shock.

CAUTION: More information on adjusting and maintenance is available on the

internet at
