Tighten the bolts evenly and in a cross pattern, i.e. alternately and gradually, to
the lower value of the recommended torque values using a torque wrench.
Once clamped in the stem try rotating the handlebars and tighten the bolt a
little more, if necessary. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
torque values! You find them directly on the components and/or in the manuals
of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD. If the handlebars are
not tight with the prescribed torque value, use carbon assembly paste.
After adjusting the handlebars you need to adjust the brake lever/shifter units.
Release the Allen bolt at either unit. Turn the levers relative to the handlebars.
Sit in the saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight line with the line of your
forearm (f). Retighten the units with a torque wrench and do a twist test! The
brake levers need not be absolutely tight. In case of a fall it is an advantage
when the brake levers can be turned.
DANGER!
G
Tighten the bolts at the stem until the clamping slots between the stem
body and the faceplate are parallel and identical in width at the top and at
the bottom. Tighten the bolts evenly and in a cross pattern, i.e. alternately and
gradually, to the lower value of the recommended torque values using a torque
wrench.
DANGER!
G
Note that the bolted connections of the stem, handlebars, bar ends and
brakes have to be turned to their prescribed torque values. Use a torque
wrench and never exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the pre-
scribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT
bike”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the component
manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
Hydraulic brakes are also fitted with adjusting devices at the brake lever (a).
There are different systems. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice or read the man-
uals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
When adjusting the lever reach, make sure the first phalanx of the index finger
reaches around the brake lever (b). Check the proper adjustment and function-
ing of the brake system subsequently, as described in the chapter “Brakes” and
in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Make sure your child cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handle-
bars. Your maximum braking force must be reached short of this point.
NOTE!
I
In the case of hydraulic brakes and disc brakes follow the manual of the
brake manufacturer, which you can find on this SCOTT info CD. If you are in
doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
Adjustment of handlebar tilt and brake levers on SCOTT mountain bikes
The handlebars are usually slightly bent at the ends. Set the handlebars to a
position in which your wrists are relaxed and not turned outwards too much (c).
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the bottom or front side of the stem.
Turn the handlebars to the desired position.
Make sure the handlebars are accurately centred in the stem (d). Carefully
retighten the bolt(s) with the torque wrench. Make sure the upper and lower
clamping slots of the stem are parallel and identical in width (e).
