BRAKES
Brake adjustment general
Your Scott bike is fitted with a reliable and well-functioning braking system, provided
the brakes are correctly adjusted. Check by measuring the distance between the brake
shoes and the rim: it should be 1.5 to 2 mm.
Cable connection and adjustment of the (Dual Pivot) brake
1. Put the quick lever on the closed position.
2. Adjust the brake shoe clearance (as shown in the illustration) and secure the cable
with the pinch bolt nut.
Cable bolt tightening torque 6-8 Nm
Caliper brake
Release counter nut A and turn adjustment screw B counter clockwise until the
distance between brake pads and rims is approx. 2mm on each side.
Tighten counter nut A.
- In case adjustment screw B is released already to the limit, please release cable
clamping screw C and turn adjustment screw clockwise to its original position.
- Close the caliper brake with your hand to the rim , adjust the brake cable and tighten
clamping screw C. Please note the table of tightening torques at the end of this file.
- Finally make the fine tuning with adjustment screw B as mentioned above.
The wheel needs to spin free without touching the brake pads. Fix counter nut A.
Important:
Make sure that the brake works perfectly.
Important:
Under wet conditions the brake performance can decrease which will result in a
prolongation of the braking distance.
