WARNING
In the case of turned stems, it is possible that the cables are too short. In this
case riding can be unsafe. If in doubt, ask your SCOTT dealer.
NOTICE
When removing spacers
(a)
the fork steerer tube must be shortened. This
change is irreversible. The shortening should be carried out by your SCOTT
dealer, but only after you have found your preferred position.
What to bear in mind with SCOTT bikes with carbon steerer
Always make sure before assembly to use a headset compatible with the stem.
We recommend the use of a SYNCROS stem and headset when mounting a
SCOTT/SYNCROS carbon fork, as they are designed to work together. If you
choose to use the product of another manufacturer, make sure it is compatible
with the SCOTT/SYNCROS fork. SCOTT assumes no responsibility for problems
resulting from the use of non-SCOTT/SYNCROS products.
Never use more than 40 mm stack height of spacers between headset and stem
(b)
. Never use more than 5 mm stack height of spacers above the stem between
the stem and the top cap of the headset
(b)
. Do use a minimum of 5 mm stack
height of spacers below the stem between the cap of the headset and the stem.
1. The fork steerer, especially in case of a carbon steerer, must be assembled
with the originally supplied internal expander wedge
(c)
.
2. NEVER use on carbon fork steerers a standard star flanged nut.
3. When cutting the steerer tube use handtools only
(d)
. Do not use a power
saw or a speed cutter but use a hand saw with a fine blade for metal cutting.
4. Once the steerer tube is cut to the desired length, be sure to remove all burrs
at the top of the steerer tube. Make sure to wear appropriate safety protec-
tion, safety goggles, gloves and breathing mask. Avoid inhaling the carbon
dust.
WARNING
For all bikes with integrated stems or handlebars, please consult with your
authorized SCOTT dealer the exact process before disassembly and reas-
sembling.
