ROAD BIKE | OWNER’S MANUAL 2021

THE HEADSET ON THE SCOTT BIKE

The headset (e) connects the fork to the frame, but allows it to move freely.

It must turn with virtually no resistance, if the SCOTT bike is to run straight,

stabilising itself as it travels. Shocks caused by uneven road surfaces expose the

headset to considerable levels of stress. In this way it can become loose and go

out of correct adjustment.

WARNING

Riding the bicycle with a loose headset increases the stress on fork and

bearings. This can lead to damage to the fork. Risk of falling!

Checking and readjusting

Check the headset for play by placing your ﬁngers around the upper head

tube race. Bring your weight to bear on the saddle, pull the front brakes with

your other hand and push the SCOTT bike firmly back and forth with the wheel

remaining on the ground (f). If the bearing has play, you will feel the upper head

tube race moving in jerks relative to the lower head tube race - visible as a small

gap in between the head tube races.
