Cycle computers
There are electronic computers that show your current and average speed, your
daily and annual mileage as well as the duration of the present ride (d). Top-end
models show the highest speed that was reached, the difference in height, the
cadence or (with a special chest strap) your pulse rate as well.
Today, there are global positioning systems (GPS) and specific power meters for
optimal training on the market which are compatible with your SCOTT bike.
Aero or triathlon/time trial bars
Before you mount aero or triathlon/time trial bars (e) on your SCOTT road bike,
it is essential to find out first whether the handlebars or a corresponding attach-
ment for use with your handlebars and stem are approved.
NOTE!
I
Read the manuals of the handlebar and stem manufacturers on this SCOTT
info CD. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer!
Mudguards (wheel protections)
If you want to mount mudguards on your SCOTT bike, ask your SCOTT dealer
for advice. There are removable mudguards (f), also referred to as clip-on mud-
guards, as well as firmly attached models that provide more protection against
moisture and dirt.
Retrofittable mudguards for fix fastening are usually made of plastics and are
secured in the correct position by means of additional stays. The length of
the stay is perfect when the bottom edge of the mudguard runs at an approx.
distance of 15 mm parallel to the tyre. Also make sure neither the brakes nor the
steering are affected.
Your SCOTT bike can be fitted with various kinds of accessories. Make sure to
observe the requirements according to the traffic regulations in your country
and of the EN standards. Any retrofitted part must be compatible with your
SCOTT bike. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Unsuitable accessories may change the qualities of your SCOTT bike and
even cause an accident. Therefore, before fitting any accessories contact
your SCOTT dealer and observe the instructions regarding the intended use of
your SCOTT bike.
DANGER!
G
Retrofitted accessories, such as mudguards, pannier racks etc. can impair
the functioning of your SCOTT bike. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice be-
fore mounting any kind of accessories to your bike.
CAUTION!
A
Before buying any additional bells or lighting accessories, inform your-
self thoroughly whether they are permitted and tested and accordingly
approved for use on public roads (a). Make sure additional battery/accumula-
tor-powered lamps are marked with the wavy line and the letter “K”.
Bicycle locks
Do not forget to take a high quality D- (b) or chain lock with you on your ride.
The only way to effectively protect your SCOTT bike against theft is to lock it to
an immovable object.
Puncture kit
The most important accessories for a successful cycle tour are a tyre pump and
a small tool kit. The tool kit should include two plastic tyre levers, the most com-
monly used Allen keys, a spare tube, a tyre repair kit and a little cash (c). In this
way you will be well prepared in the event of a puncture or some other mishap.
Take your mobile phone with you, as well.
