BICYCLE SAFETY SADDLE HEIGHT IMPORTANT! If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult thoroughly reads and explains the safety instructions in this manual to the minor. Please ensure your SCOTT bike is completely assembled by your authorized SCOTT dealer. This ensures that your bike is correctly set up to optimize safety, performance and fun while riding. It is important to understand the basics of and exercise common sense when cycling.
BRAKES -- Finally make the fine tuning with adjustment screw B as mentioned above. The wheel needs to spin free without touching the brake pads. Fix counter nut A. GENERAL BRAKE ADJUSTMENT IMPORTANT! Your SCOTT bike is fitted with a reliable and well-functioning braking system, provided the brakes are correctly adjusted. Check by measuring the distance between the brake shoes and the rim: it should be 1.5 to 2 mm. Make sure that the brake works perfectly.
TIRES AND RIMS Replacement of the brake pads/cartridge shoe Remove the shoe fixing pin shoe fixing pin Tires should always be inflated within the manufacturer’s recommendations. They are rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your tires). Higher pressure for smoother roads or heavy riders. Lower pressure for more shock absorption on rougher terrains. For example: Remove the shoe by sliding it along the groove of the shoe holder INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (50PSI) - MAX. 6.
WHEELS FRONT WHEEL SECONDARY RETENTION DEVICES Bicycle wheels are designed to be removable for easier transportation and for repair of a tire puncture. In most cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called “dropouts” in the fork and frame, but some suspension mountain bikes use what is called a “through axle” wheel mounting system.
