When riding downhill, get used to braking hard and then releasing the brake

again, whenever the road surface and the situation allows for it. If you are in

doubt about the braking action, stop and let the brake system cool down.

DANGER!

The assignment of brake lever to brake caliper 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.

DANGER!

Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practise 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.

DANGER!

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.

DANGER!

Ensure that braking surfaces and brake pads are absolutely free of wax,

grease and oil. Risk of accident!

CAUTION!

When replacing any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the appropri-

ate mark and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts (f). Your SCOTT

dealer will be pleased to help you.

NOTE!

Be sure to read the instructions of the brake manufacturers on this SCOTT

info CD before you start to readjust or to service the brake or before doing

any work whatsoever.

BRAKES

Brakes (a) 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 limited by the danger of the rear wheel losing contact with the ground

(b), resulting in an overturning of the SCOTT bike and, secondly, by the grip of

the tyres on the road. 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 (c) 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.

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

Wet weather reduces the braking power. Actuate the brakes carefully when

riding on wet or slippery ground, as the tyres can easily slip away. Therefore,

reduce your speed when riding in such conditions.

There are various types of brake systems that may be subject to the following

problems:

Too long braking or brake dragging can result in an overheating of the rim brakes

(d). This can damage the inner tube or make the tyre slip on the rim causing a

sudden loss of air which could lead to a serious accident in the process.

With roller, drum, back-pedal (e) and disc brakes prolonged braking or per-

manent dragging of brake pads can also lead to an overheating of the brake

system. This can result in a reduction of the braking power or brake failure. Risk

of accident!
