For 185mm rotor diameter you will need 2 red anodized spacers that can be ordered
via the SCOTT distribution with:
219568 Brake Mount Adapt.Spacers 4mm f/185mm
For the 200mm rotors please use for: SRAM/Avid: “+20mm” adapter
Shimano: F180PP2
FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to
the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel of 150mm (27.5”) and 130mm (29”), as
this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
For details on the technical length of the recommended forks please refer to the
Tech Info Chart before mentioned.
PIVOT MAINTENANCE
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do.
We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the parts
which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service kit at
your local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as shown
above in the specs list in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your
local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
