SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS
IDS DROP OUT SYSTEM
Scott strongly recommends using only the originally specified shock with the
Voltage FR bike,
as we have chosen carefully both parts for a perfect matching
combination.
If you want to use a different rear shock model than the one originally on the bike,
please make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame and cause a
damage to the frame.
Please follow the instruction below:
Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory parts do not touch the frame
when mounting or suspending.
For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress the shock
completely.
If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order to avoid
damage to frame, swingarm or shock
The Voltage FR offers the possibility not only to change drop out hanger in case of
damage, you also can choose between different several different drop outs
of the Scott IDS (Interchangeable Drop-Out System):
Inline you will find on Voltage FR 10/20 a 12mm through axle system,
on FR 30 a standard axle system.
In addition Scott offers following options:
-
IDS 12mm short (10mm reduced wheelbase)
-
IDS 12mm long (10mm prolonged wheelbase)
-
IDS Maxle for SRAM Maxle System
Please contact your local Scott dealer for supply of those parts in case you want to re-
fit your bike with one of those versions.
FRONT FORK SET-UP/
CHANGE OF FRONT FORK
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike.
We recommend using front forks with distance of 525mm to 571mm between mid of
axle to top of crown, as this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the
bike.
PIVOT MAINTENANCE
The pivots and bearings on SCOTT Voltage FR are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do.
We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the parts
which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service kit at your
local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as shown above in the
specs list in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your
local SCOTT dealer as you need a special tool kit for disassembly and assembly.
