3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the sprockets. If your
SCOTT bike fell over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning of the gears.
Ask somebody to lift your SCOTT bike by the saddle and carefully shift through
all the gears. Pay particular attention when switching to the small gears, making
sure the rear derailleur does not get too close to the spokes as the chain climbs
onto the larger sprockets (c+d).
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear derailleur
may collide with the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear derailleur, the rear
wheel or the frame. Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced
front derailleur can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of your
SCOTT bike. Risk of falling!
For more information see the chapter “Gears” in your detailed original SCOTT
operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-
Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific
manual.
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component
manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have pur-
chased via your Quick Start Manual.
4. Make sure the saddle is not out of alignment using the top tube (e) or the bot-
tom bracket shell as a reference. If necessary, open the clamping, realign the
saddle and retighten the clamping.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”
and “Using quick-releases and thru axles” in this SCOTT general manual as well
as in your detailed original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trek-
king-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web
page and your model specific manual.

manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have pur-
chased via your Quick Start Manual.
5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height (f). If there is
any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
