4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to
a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with
your heel
(d)
. The hips should remain horizontal. Check whether your toes
reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle. Your SCOTT dealer will
be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”.
5. If your SCOTT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals
(e)
: Have you
ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise locking
one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other leg.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust them to your
needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals
of the component manufacturers. 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.
WARNING
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you
are riding with your hands on aero bars or on triathlon bars. The brake levers
are not always within easy reach.
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may oth-
erwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in wet
conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well below the
speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
CAUTION
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube
(f)
so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bicy-
cle quickly.
