WARNING
The stem is one of the load-bearing parts of your SCOTT bike. Changes to
it can impair your safety. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer!
These routines require a certain amount of manual skill and (special) tools.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment of your
stem or let him do that work.
The bolted connections of stem and handlebars have to be tightened to the
prescribed torque values. If you disregard the prescribed values, the han-
dlebars or stem may come loose or break. Use a torque wrench and never
exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in
the chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike”, directly
on the components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers.
Stems come in varying lengths
(a)
as well as shaft and binder tube diam-
eters. A stem of inappropriate dimension can become a source of danger:
Handlebars, stems or forks can break, resulting in an accident. When replac-
ing any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark and,
to be on the safe side, original spare parts from SCOTT or SYNCROS. Your
SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you.
If you choose to use the product of another manufacturer, make sure it is
compatible with the SCOTT/SYNCROS components. SCOTT assumes no
responsibility for problems resulting from the use of non-SCOTT/SYNCROS
products. Make sure the handlebar/stem-combination is approved by the
handlebar and/or stem manufacturer.
Make sure the handlebar clamping area is free of sharp edges.
