BRAKE
Fork/Front Brake assembly:
Advisory:
The SCOTT Plasma Fork is compatible with both SHIMANO direct
mount and single bolt front brake calipers. The recommended front brake
caliper for the SCOTT Plasma 5 is the TEKTRO SCTT161411501, especially
designed for the Plasma 5. Only this brake model is compatible with the front
aero brake cover (401) delivered with the SCOTT Plasma 5 frameset. Instructions
below describe the TEKTRO SCTT161411501 assembly.
Assemble the front brake axles on the fork and tighten to the specified torque (T5)
using an 8mm dynamometric wrench.
Position the spring on the axles, its final position is reached when the spring touches
the fork.
Position the brake caliper on the brake axles, the shouldering of the axles should
touch the caliper bearings then position the spring ends into the plastic spring tab
grooves using a small flathead screwdriver. Position the brake booster part at the end
of the brake axles so that the recesses are showing.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the front face of the brake booster part coincides with the front end
of the brake axles!
Assemble the two M6 screws and tighten them to the specified
torque (T6).
Front Brake Cable assembly:
Install the front wheel in the fork tabs and position the front brake cable in front of
the front brake calliper. Using a pen put a mark on the cable corresponding to the
end of the cable anchor part.
Using a ruler and a pen, put a second mark on the cable 20mm below the first one
and cut the cable at the
second mark
.
Slide the cable into the cable anchor part; make sure the end of the brake cable does
not collide with the brake rod axle, in case you can gently bend the cable end so that
it goes aside from the brake rod axle part.
IMPORTANT
Gently pull the cable end using pliers. Position the brake pads so that they’re
approximately 1mm away from the braking surface.
Make sure the cable clamps
parts are parallel and that the gap between these parts is perpendicular to the
cable clamping screw!
Tighten the cable clamping screw using a 2.5mm Allen key and a 3mm Allen key to
keep the cable anchor part from rotating. Adjust the pad position so that the top of
the pad is 1-2mm below the top of the rim’s braking surface and flat against the rim
surface.
Torque the brake pads bolts to 5Nm. Micro-adjust the brake pads position thanks
to the front brake stop part (305) located below the stem. Micro-adjust the spring
tension screws with a 2mm Allen key to center the brake pads relative to the rim.
