OWNER’S MANUAL 2021 | ROAD BIKE

With disc brakes (a) you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you
have to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking
response, have the SCOTT bike checked by your SCOTT dealer immediately.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers.
5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height (b). If there
is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted
connections, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. If your bike has a kickstand, make sure it is fully raised before you set off. Risk
of falling!
7. Do not forget to take a high quality D- (c) or chain lock with you on your ride.
The only way to effectively protect your SCOTT bike against theft is to lock it
to an immovable object.
8. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your SCOTT bike is equipped
according to the applicable regulations of your country (d). Riding without
lights and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous because
you will be seen too late or not at all by other road users. A set of lights that
corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the lights as
soon as dusk sets in.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on pub-
lic roads“.
WARNING
Do not use your SCOTT bike, if it fails at one of these points! A defective
SCOTT bike can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
Improperly closed fastenings, e.g. quick-releases, can cause parts of your
SCOTT bike to come loose and result in serious accidents!
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you
are riding with your hands on aero bars or on triathlon bars (e). The brake
levers are not always within easy reach.
