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
Change of brake pads
1. Loosen up the security screw with a 2 mm allen key.
2. Push the used brake pad out of the aluminium brake shoe.
3. Push the new brake pad into the brake shoe, and beware of the arrow which
shows the mounting direction.
4. Tighten up the security screw to approximately 1.5 Nm.
Centring the brake shoes
Make a minor adjustment by using the centring adjustment screw.
Readjustment of the brake shoe clearance
Turn the cable-adjustment bolt to readjust the brake shoe clearance.
