WARNING
If you mount wheels with carbon rims on your SCOTT road bike, you must
most probably change the brake pads, as conventional brake pads often
do not provide the desired braking effect. It is essential to also observe the
manuals of the wheel manufacturer.
Treat your tyres with care. Always ride your bicycle with the prescribed tyre
pressure and check the pressure at regular intervals, at least once a week.
Riding with too low or too high air pressure may make the tyre come off the
rim or burst.
Clincher and folding tyres allowing an inflation pressure of five bars or more
have to be mounted on hook bead rims, identifiable by the designation “C”.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Observe the maximum pressure value of the rim. The pressure is dependent
on the tyre width. You can find the values in the manuals of the rim or wheel
manufacturer.
VALVES
There is only one valve type in general use on SCOTT road bikes: The Sclaverand
or Presta valve that is designed to withstand extremely high pressures (a). It has a
plastic cap protecting the valve from dirt.
You first have to undo the small knurled nut a little and depress it carefully
until air starts to escape (b). Check the nut is tightened and seated in its stem,
otherwise air may slowly leak out. It can be hard to inflate tyres to the necessary
pressure by using hand pumps. It is much easier with a foot-operated or a track
pump equipped with a pressure gauge (c).
