WARNING
The maximum permissible overall weight of 120kg / 264lbs including rider,
luggage (rucksack) and SCOTT road bike must not be exceeded. Trailer
towing is not permitted in general. Also observe the manuals of the wheel
manufacturer. 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 purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
Check the condition of the brakes and make sure you only ride with brake
pads that are suitable for carbon rims!
Observe the maximum permissible overall weight restrictions in the case of
carbon wheels. For more information see the manuals of the wheel manu-
facturer. 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 purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
The wheels are exclusively for use in road races (a) and triathlon sports. The
wheels are not suitable for riding on unpaved roads, off-road and for jumps
etc. In addition, they are not suitable for towing a trailer (b) and for riding
with heavy luggage.
Particularities of braking with carbon wheels
As the braking surfaces are made of carbon (c), there are some things to keep
in mind. Only use the brake pads of wheel manufacturers (d) that are suitable
for carbon wheels, as they are designed to suit such types of rims.
Carbon brake pads usually wear down faster than conventional brake pads.
Keep in mind that the braking response of the rims needs getting used to, in
particular in wet conditions. Therefore, test your brakes in a place free of traffic
until you have full control of your bike.
The brake surfaces of the carbon rims (e) are sensitive to heat. Therefore, when
you are riding in the mountains, avoid any drag braking. Riding downhill e.g.
with a permanently activated rear wheel brake might lead to a heating up of the
material and thus to a deformation.
