The outer housing of the cables can also be fixed on the bottle cage with cable fixers,
the two brackets below the cage are not needed anymore..
ADJUSTMENT OF SEATPOST-HEIGHT
IMPORTANT:
The seatpost has to be inserted into the seattube at a minimum of 100mm.
Never use another seatpost diameter than 34.9mm on carbon frames or 31.6mm on
alloy frames or try to use a shim/reducer between seatpost and frame.
REPLACEABLE DROPOUT
On Spark bikes you can replace the rear derailleur hanger.
In case the replaceable hanger is damaged by a crash or accident you can order at
your local Scott dealer the replacement part with Scott article number 206473
FRONT FORK SET-UP /
CHANGE OF FRONT FORK
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel of 100 - 120mm, as this will not influence
the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
PIVOT MAINTENANCE
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Spark are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do.
We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the parts
which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service kit at your
local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as shown above in the
specs list in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your
local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly
