NOTE!

In case of inquiries, contact your SCOTT dealer or follow the respective in-

structions in the manual of the suspension fork manufacturer on this SCOTT

info CD.

NOTE!

If you have found the desired setting, write down the ideal inflation pressure

for later checks.

Adjusting the damping control

The damping is adjusted by valves inside. When the oil is forced through these

valves this slows down the speed with which the suspension fork is extended or

compressed and prevents the suspension “bouncing” after hitting an obstacle.

In this way it is possible to optimise the bicycle’s reaction to obstacles.

Suspension forks with adjustable rebound damping have an adjusting knob

(mostly red) (d) to slow down or accelerate the rebound movement. If a second

(mostly blue) knob is available, the compression speed can be set and/or the

lockout function can be activated.

Start the adjusting with a completely open damping (rebound movement at “-“).

Take hold of the handlebars with both hands and pull the front brake. Lean with

your entire weight on the fork and remove your weight immediately (e). The

fork will extract at the same speed as you made it compress.

Turn the red adjusting knob in the direction ”+“ (f) until you hear a click. Com-

press the fork once again with the front wheel brake pulled and then remove the

weight abruptly once again. You will note that the fork extends more slowly.

Repeat the compression and the release by continuously turning the rebound

damping. You will get a feeling for the working of the rebound damping.

In the case of most suspension forks with coil springs a preload can be applied

to the springs within tight limits by turning a knob at the top of the fork crown

(a). If that is not possible and the desired negative suspension travel (“sag”)

cannot be set, the coil springs must be replaced by harder or softer models. The

replacement is a job for the SCOTT dealer.

When replacing any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate

mark and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts. Your SCOTT dealer will be

pleased to help you.

Always make a test ride over roads with various surfaces after each change to

the settings (b).

Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable tie. Its distance from the

wiper is the maximum suspension travel that you have used (c). If the rubber

o-ring/cable tie has moved a few millimetres only, your rear shock is too firm.

Reduce the air pressure of air sprung forks or the initial spring tension of coil

springs. If that brings no improvement, have the springs replaced.

If the rubber ring/cable tie has shifted over the entire length of the tube or if

the fork audibly bottoms out and hits the top repeatedly when riding on bad

roads, the setting of the springs is too soft. In the case of air-suspension forks

the pressure must be increased. In the case of steel coils, have them replaced by

your SCOTT dealer.

DANGER!

Suspension forks are designed in a way to absorb shocks. If the fork is too

rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the frame

without any damping. The frame is normally not designed to withstand such

undamped stresses. If your suspension has a lockout mechanism, do not acti-

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

smooth terrain (roads) and on field tracks.

CAUTION!

The suspension fork 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 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 fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently

reaches bottom out, it will fail over time, and so will the frame.
