Fix a flat tire
Bike tires are fitted with tubes.
Remove the wheel from the bike and deflate it. Unhook the tire from one side of the
rim, using tire tools, not screwdrivers.
Remove the tube from the tire casing, repair or replace it. Install the new or repaired
tire. Fill the tube lightly with air in order to let it take its shape. Put the valve stem
through the hole, and fit the inside tire. Put the tire bead in the rim starting at the valve
and finishing at the opposite end, working on both sides. Push the valve stem into the
tire and pull it back down to seat. Make sure the tube is not pinched under the tire
bead. Inflate with hand or foot-pump.
Close the brake’s quick release system carefully.
Use of a bicycle hauler
Scott bikes are not intended for the use of haulers (load-haulers, kids-haulers, Trailer
bikes).
Please note that Scott will not take any warranty or responsibility when using a hauler.
There are too many different haulers and hauler fixation systems on the market to give
a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or endangering
the passengers.
Use of Scott bikes in public traffic
Please note and respect the national laws concerning the use of equipped and non-
equipped bikes in public traffic.
This concerns e.g. reflectors and light systems.
Use of a baby seat
Scott bikes of Racing Concept, Racing, Endurance, Progressive, Road, Roadster and
Kids Series are not intended for the use of baby seats.
Please note that Scott will not take any warranty or responsibility when using a baby
seat on bikes mentioned above.
There are too many different baby seat and baby seat fixation systems on the market
to give a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or
endangering the passengers.
Assignment of brake levers to front and rear brake
In general Scott bikes are delivered and preassembled with the right lever matching
the rear brake and the left lever matching the front brake.
Due to national laws this could have been changed by your Scott dealer to fulfil the
national laws.
Please ask your dealer to explain to you the assignment of the brakes and brake levers
when handing over the bike.
