OWNER’S MANUAL 2021 | ROAD BIKE
With an unapplied brake the brake pads should not be too close to the rim
sides, otherwise they could drag along the rim during riding. Before making this
adjustment, observe the notes in the chapter “Brake lever reach adjustment on
SCOTT road bikes and SCOTT cyclo-cross bikes”.
With ongoing brake pad wear, the pressure point at the brake lever moves to-
wards the handlebars. Check the free travel at regular intervals; it should not be
longer than a quarter of the whole travel. For readjustment turn the knurled nut
or bolt (d) through which the cable runs into the brake body until the lever has
the desired travel. Test the brakes subsequently in a place free of traffic.
WARNING
Always test the brakes’ function when stationary after adjusting them, mak-
ing sure the brake pads engage fully with the rim without touching the tyre
when you pull them hard. Make sure you cannot pull the lever all the way to
the handlebars.
