In the case of SRAM start by setting the cam disc on the slightly pulled and
inward moved shifters. Screw in the screw positioned behind the hood in the
body by using an Allen key.
In the case of flat bars there is a small adjusting bolt where the brake hose of a
side-pull brake runs into the brake lever unit or on the lever itself.
Check the proper adjustment and functioning of the brake system subsequent-
ly, as described in the chapter “Brakes” and/or in the manuals of the brake
manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
If you have problems reaching the levers, please contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars (e).
Your maximum braking force must be reached short of this point!
DANGER!

Note that the bolted connections of the stem, handlebars and brakes have
to be tightened to the specified torques (f). You will find the respective
values in the chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike” or
in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD. If you
disregard the prescribed values, the components may come loose or break. This
can lead to a severe crash.
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.
NOTE!
I
Some manufacturers offer brake levers/shifters which are suitable for small
hands. If you have any problems with the brake lever reach, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
Position the saddle so that its upper surface is parallel to the ground. Tighten
the bolt gradually and make sure
1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on the carbon seat post head
and
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 (a) until you have reached the maximum torque value indicated in New-
ton metres (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 road bikes and SCOTT cyclo-
cross bikes
With road bikes the clearance between brake lever/shifter and handlebar can be
adjusted to a minor degree. This gives riders with small hands the convenience
of bringing the brake levers closer to the handlebars.
The first phalanx respectively of the index and the middle finger must reach
around the brake lever (b). Braking from the top with your hands on the upper
end of the brake grips is not an alternative in the long run and in hazardous situ-
ations, you need more manual force and cannot support yourself appropriately.
In the case of Shimano’s Dura-Ace unscrew the chrome cover and tighten the
screw positioned in the front (c). In the case of the Ultegra you need special
insert pieces (d). In the case of both Di2 models you reach the screws from the
rear, after you have removed the hoods.
