Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom

bracket or top tube as a reference point (d). Clamp the seat post tight again by

closing the quick-release, as described in chapter “Using quick-releases” or by

turning the seat post binder bolts clockwise in half turns or better in steps of 0.5

Nm increments starting at 3 Nm. You should not need much strength in your

hands to clamp the seat post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not

match the frame.

Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the

saddle at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube

(e). If it does rotate, gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp by

half a turn or better by a quater turn or in steps of 0.5 Nm increments and do

the check again.

Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct result? Check by moving your

foot and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above

the pedal center in the ideal pedaling position, your knee should be slightly

bent. If this is the case, the saddle height is adjusted to the correct height.

Check whether you can touch the ground safely while sitting on the saddle by

stretching your feet to the floor. If not, you should lower the saddle until you

can, at least to begin with.

DANGER!

Never apply grease or oil into a seat tube of a frame made of carbon unless

an alloy sleeve is inside the frame. If you mount a carbon seat post, do not

put any grease on it, even if the frame is made of metal. Once greased, carbon

components may never again ensure reliable clamping! Use special carbon

assembly paste instead (f).

DANGER!

Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Other-

wise you may damage the seat post or the frame. Risk of accident!

NOTE!

The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the SCOTT

bike. Ask your SCOTT dealer or your trainer for help. The advice given be-

low is suitable for typical SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes.

NOTE!

If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your

crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your SCOTT dealer has a very wide

range of saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT

The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedalling,

the ball of your foot should be positioned above the center of the pedal axle.

With your feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs com-

pletely straight at the lowest point (a), otherwise your pedalling will become

awkward.

Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with

suitable cycling shoes.

Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg

should be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal.

To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (see the chapter “Us-

ing quick-releases“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at the top of the

seat tube (b).

The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key, with which you turn the bolt

two to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can perform the vertical adjustment

of the seat post.

Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark on the seat post (max.,

min., stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube (c). Always

grease the surface of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted into a

seat tube made of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts

and/or carbon seat tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon assembly

paste instead.
