BY TRAIN / BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
In the cities the regulations for taking SCOTT bikes by public transport differ
(e). In some places there are for example off-times when you are not allowed to
take your SCOTT bike with you or only with an additional bicycle ticket. Inform
yourself in time about the regulations of carrying the bicycle before you start
the trip!
The regulations for taking bicycles with you by train differ in each country. In-
form yourself in time about the respective transport regulations.
NOTE!
I
Observe that every train traveller is normally allowed to take only one bicy-
cle with him.
NOTE!
I
Before you start your trip inform yourself in time about the conditions of
carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bicycle transport
in the countries through which you intend to travel.
BY PLANE
If you want to take your SCOTT bike with you when you go on a trip by plane,
pack it in an appropriate bicycle suitcase (f) or in a bicycle cardboard box that
you can obtain from your SCOTT dealer. Special bicycle bags often do not pro-
vide sufficient protection for your SCOTT bike.
Pack the wheels (in particular carbon wheels) in special wheel bags to protect
them inside the suitcase or cardboard box. Do not forget to take the necessary
tools, a torque wrench and bits, carbon assembly paste and this owner’s manual
with you to be able to assemble your SCOTT bike and to get it ready for use at
your destination.
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT cyclo-cross bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety
locks before transporting your SCOTT cyclo-cross bike with the wheels
dismounted.
DANGER!
G
Do not buy a carrier on which the SCOTT road bike has to be mounted
upside down, i.e. with the handlebars and saddle fixed face down to the
carrier. This way of fastening the bicycle exposes handlebars, stem, saddle and
seat post to extreme stress during transport. Do not opt for a carrier system
with crank arm fit. Risk of breakage!
DANGER!
G
Check whether your SCOTT bike is properly fastened before and at regular
intervals during the journey, e.g. during a stop. A SCOTT bike that detaches
from the roof carrier may endanger other road users.
DANGER!
G
Always secure your SCOTT bike or its components when putting it/them
into the interior of your car (a). Parts shifting around can impair your safety.
CAUTION!
A
Most clamps are a potential source of damage to large-diameter frame
tubes (b) that are not designed to be fixed in such clamps! Do not use such
systems with carbon frames.
CAUTION!
A
Please make sure the lights and the number plate of your car are not hidden
from view. For some carriers, a second exterior rear view mirror is required
by the road traffic regulations.
CAUTION!
A
Bear in mind that your car has a greater overall height with the bicycle on it.
Measure the overall height and place a sign stating the height somewhere in
the cockpit or on the steering wheel so that it can be easily seen.
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (c) be-
fore transporting your SCOTT cyclo-cross bike with the wheels dismounted.
CAUTION!
A
Pull the brake levers and secure them with a strong elastic strap (d) when
transporting a SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
