If the saddle rails fit into the clamp grooves, slide the saddle on the seat post
and ensure that the clamp is positioned midway along the total length of the
rails. Position the saddle so that its upper surface is parallel to the ground. Tight-
en the bolt gradually and make sure
1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on the carbon seat post head
and that
2) the clamp is tightening evenly around each rail.
Once there is uniform hold on both rails, tighten the bolt gradually with a torque
wrench (d) until you have reached the maximum torque value indicated in New-
ton meters (Nm) on the seat post.
DANGER!
G
Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to the
values indicated directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the
component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail. Risk of accident!
COCKPIT ADJUSTMENT
Brake lever reach adjustment on SCOTT mountain bikes
With most brake systems the distance between the brake levers and the han-
dlebar grips is adjustable. This gives in particular riders with small hands the
convenience of bringing the brake levers closer to the handlebars (e).
On most bikes there is a small adjusting screw near the point where the brake
cable of a cable brake enters the brake lever unit or at the lever itself. Turn this
bolt clockwise and watch how the lever adjusts as you do so (f). Note that the
brake lever has a free travel of one third before the pressure point of the brake is
reached.
If you have a single bolt system (a), the seat post for most of the sports saddles
is designed for a saddle rail diameter of 7 mm. Replacement outer clamps for
ovalized saddle rails of 8 mm x 8.5 mm (W x H) as well as for carbon saddle rails
bigger than 8 x 8.5 mm are also available. If you are not sure which saddle rail
type you have or if you need further information, contact your SCOTT dealer.
To mount the saddle unscrew the transversal fixing bolt as far as possible with-
out loosening the lock nut on the outer side of the clamping device (b). In gen-
eral, it is not necessary to take the mechanism completely apart, if it is already
equipped with the correct outer clamps for your saddle.
If you do find it necessary to unscrew the single fixing bolt completely, remove
it from the clamping device. This releases the outer clamping parts. The inner
clamping parts are typically held in position with a rubber retention plate.
Mount the saddle rails into the inner clamping parts, add the outer parts and
re-insert the fixing bolt. If the width of the saddle rails does not fit exactly into
the clamp grooves, do not try to force them in. The clamping mechanism or the
saddle rails could break and result in an accident and/or injuries to the rider.
Use a different saddle model (c) or contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
When choosing another saddle, observe that there are round and ovalized
rails. Replace the fitting pieces of the clamp accordingly.
