Position the saddle so that its upper surface is parallel to the ground. Tighten
the bolt gradually and make sure
1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on the carbon seat post head
and
2) the clamp is tightening evenly around each rail.
Once there is uniform hold on both rails, tighten the bolt gradually with a torque
wrench
(a)
until you have reached the maximum torque value indicated in New-
ton metres (Nm) on the seat post.
WARNING
Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to the
values indicated directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the
component manufacturers.
Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail. Risk of accident!
COCKPIT ADJUSTMENT
Brake lever reach adjustment on SCOTT road bikes and SCOTT cyclo-
cross bikes
With road bikes the clearance between brake lever/shifter and handlebar can be
adjusted to a minor degree. This gives riders with small hands the convenience
of bringing the brake levers closer to the handlebars.
The first phalanx respectively of the index and the middle finger must reach
around the brake lever
(b)
. Braking from the top with your hands on the upper
end of the brake grips is not an alternative in the long run and in hazardous situ-
ations, you need more manual force and cannot support yourself appropriately.
In the case of
Shimano’s Dura-Ace
unscrew the chrome cover and tighten the
screw positioned in the front
(c)
. In the case of the
Ultegra
you need special
insert pieces
(d)
. In the case of both Di2 models you reach the screws from the
rear, after you have removed the hoods.
