ROAD BIKE | OWNER’S MANUAL 2021
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.
WARNING
The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g. left lever acts
on front brake (c). Have a look at the handover report in the Quick Start
Manual 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.
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.
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.
Ensure that the braking surfaces and brake pads are absolutely free of wax,
grease and oil (e). Risk of accident!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Be sure to read the manuals of the brake manufacturers before you start to
readjust or to service the brake or before doing any work whatsoever.
