See your SCOTT dealer and ask him to examine the remaining thickness of the
rims when you are through your second set of brake pads at the latest. Your
SCOTT dealer has special measuring devices for determining the remaining
thickness of the rims.
Both brake arms must hit the rim simultaneously, when you actuate the brake
lever. They must keep off the tyre.
A correctly adjusted brake is only ensured if all of these checks have been made
successfully.
WARNING
Brake cables that are damaged (d), e.g. frayed, should be replaced imme-
diately, as they can otherwise fail in a critical moment, possibly causing a
crash!
Adjusting the position of the brake pads relative to the rims requires a
considerable degree of skill. Replacing and adjusting the brake pads is a job
best left to your SCOTT dealer.
Have your rims regularly inspected and measured by your SCOTT dealer (e).
Synchronising and readjusting
With dual pivot brakes, turn the small (headless) screw located at the side or on
top of the calliper (f), until the left and right brake pad are at the same distance
from the rim.
Also check whether the bolt by which the brake is screwed to the frame is still
tightened to the proper torque, i.e. according to the torque value given in the
chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike”.
The position of the brake lever where the brake starts to act, also referred to as
pressure point, can be adjusted to the size of the hand as well as to individual
convenience by readjusting the brake cable. Make absolutely sure you cannot
pull the brake lever all the way to the handlebar grip.
