Operation and control

Derailleur gears always work according to the following principle:

Large front chainring – high/heavy gear – higher gear ratio

Small front chainring – low/easy gear – lower gear ratio

Large rear sprocket – low/easy gear – lower gear ratio

Small rear sprocket – high/heavy gear – higher gear ratio

Normally, the shifters are mounted as follows:

Shift lever right – rear sprockets

Shift lever left – front chainrings

Modern SCOTT city/trekking bikes can have up to 30 gears. As there are, how-

ever, overlapping ranges, actually 15 to 18 gears are usable. It is not advisable to

use gears which involve an extremely oblique run of the chain, as this reduces

power transmission efficiency and hastens wear of the chain.

An unfavourable run of the chain is when the smallest chainring is used with

one of the two or three outermost (smallest) sprockets (c) or when the largest

chainring is used with one of the inmost (largest) sprockets (d).

The bottom bracket (e) is the interface between cranks and frame. There are

different designs, in some cases the bearing spindle is part of the bottom

bracket, in some other cases it is integrated into the right crank. Sealed bottom

brackets are maintenance free and delivered without play ex works. The bottom

bracket in the frame must be checked for play at regular intervals.

Also check at regular intervals whether the cranks are firmly attached to the

bearing spindle or whether there is play. Grab the crank and try to jiggle it force-

fully. It must be absolutely free of play (f). If you notice any play, contact your

SCOTT dealer immediately.

GEARS

DERAILLEUR GEARS

The gears of your SCOTT bike (a+b) serve to adjust the gear ratio to the terrain

you are riding on and the desired speed.

A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the chain runs on the small

chainring and a large sprocket) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate

pedalling force. You must, however, pedal at a faster pace. High gears (large

chainring, small sprocket) are for riding downhill. Every turn of the pedals takes

you many metres forward at correspondingly high speed.

DANGER!

Continue pedalling at reduced cadence during gear shifting, however, at

clearly reduced pedalling force. In particular when shifting through the

chainrings continue pedalling slowly and without force.

DANGER!

With SCOTT pedelecs reduce the cadence and the pedalling force short-

ly before you start shifting. In doing so there is a short interruption of the

drive. If you continue pedalling, the high chain forces could result in a chain

failure.

CAUTION!

Practise switching gears in a place free of traffic until you are familiar with

the functioning of the levers or twist grips of your SCOTT bike.

NOTE!

SCOTT pedelecs have only one chainring. As a consequence there is no

front derailleur and no shifter on the left handlebars.

NOTE!

Read the gear manufacturer’s manual on this SCOTT info CD carefully and

practise shifting gears until you are familiar with it before you set off for the

first time.
