What to bear in mind with aero bars on SCOTT triathlon bikes and

SCOTT time trial machines

In triathlon sport and time trial, where a particularly aerodynamic seating posi-

tion is important, so-called aero bars (e) are commonly used. With these aero

models the shifters are often positioned at the handlebar ends, the brake levers

at the ends of bull-horn handlebars.

When you ride with your back in a horizontal position, the brake levers are out

of reach and the reaction time is longer, which makes your stopping distance

longer. For this reason it is very important to anticipate problems when riding.

Within certain limits the position of the handlebars can be adjusted according

to your personal preferences. That means that the straight part of the aero bars

should point downwards or upwards to an only minor degree. The basic handle-

bars should be parallel to the ground or point slightly upwards. Make sure your

forearms are always comfortably rested, i.e. your elbows should project beyond

the armrests a little towards the rear (f). Bring the armrests in a position which

allow you to breathe freely.

DANGER!

Note that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, while riding

with the hands on the top handlebars or in aerodynamic position. The brake

levers are not always within easy reach.

CAUTION!

SCOTT triathlon bikes and SCOTT time trial machines have specific riding

characteristics. Make yourself familiar with your new SCOTT triathlon bike

or with your new SCOTT time trial machine in an unfrequented area and ap-

proach the riding characteristics step by step.

Adjustment of handlebar tilt and brake lever/shifter units on SCOTT

road bikes and SCOTT cyclo-cross bikes

The straight extensions below the drops should be parallel to the ground or

point slightly downwards towards the rear (a). The grips of the brake lever/shift-

er units are horizontal or point slightly upwards. The ends of the brake lever/

shifter units should meet an imaginary extension of the bottom line of the drops.

Shifting the brake levers/shifters is a job best left to your SCOTT dealer, as it

involves retaping the handlebars afterwards.

To adjust the tilt of the handlebars, release the Allen bolt(s) on the underside or

front side of the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired position. Make sure

the handlebars are accurately centred in the stem.

Carefully retighten the bolt(s) with the torque wrench. Make sure the upper and

lower clamping slots of the stem are parallel and identical in width (b). If you

have a stem with several bolts, tighten them evenly in a cross pattern (c) by

using a torque wrench and observe the recommended torque values.

Check by trying to rotate the handlebars relative to the stem and tighten the

bolt a little more, if necessary (d).

Use a torque wrench and do not exceed the maximum torque values given in

the chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike” or in the

manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD. If you disre-

gard the prescribed values, the components may come loose or break. This can

lead to a severe crash.
