WARNING
During use your SCOTT bike is undergoing stress resulting from the surface
of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads, the
different parts of your bike react with wear and fatigue. Please check your
SCOTT bike regularly, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance
schedule, for wear marks, scratches, deformations, check colour and any
indication of cracking. Components which have reached the end of their
service life may break without previous warning. Let your SCOTT dealer
maintain and service your SCOTT bike regularly, i.e. according to the SCOTT
service and maintenance schedule. In cases of doubt it is always best to
replace components.
USING QUICK-RELEASES AND THRU AXLES
QUICK-RELEASES ON THE SCOTT BIKE
Some SCOTT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments,
assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight
before you set off on your SCOTT bike. Quick-releases should be handled with
greatest care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-
ments
(f):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a
cam when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
CAUTION
Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long
down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool
down before opening the quick-release.
