Regularly check the reliable fit of the bolted connection of the hub and, if
necessary, of the torque support
(d)
(“brake torque arm“) at the frame.
CAUTION!
A
Shimano recommends for example regular maintenance (oil change) every
5,000 km or every two years. Read the manual of the gear manufacturer on
this SCOTT info CD or contact your SCOTT dealer.
NOTE!
I
Observe the manual of the gear manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD. If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
GATES BELT DRIVE
With the Gates belt drive
(e)
a carbon drive belt replaces the usual chain. This
works only in connection with a gear hub. The carbon drive belt is made of car-
bon fibres which reduces the weight significantly and requires less maintenance
by offering smoother running and comfort than a chain. In addition, the belt is
more resistant to corrosion and the influence of direct sunlight.
Maintenance and care
Thanks to the carbon fibre surface, the belt remains free of dirt. Therefore, it will
do to clean the belt with water, if necessary. The carbon drive belt needs neither
lubrication nor oiling.
Checking the belt tension
The optimum operation of the Gates belt drive requires the proper tension of
the belt
(f)
. An unusually low tension can make the belt skip and thus affect the
performance. A too high tension of the belt will render the drive sluggish and
unnecessarily increase the wear of the belt and the bearings.
On SCOTT bikes with vertical drop-outs re-tensioning the belt is not necessary,
in case you need to replace a flat tyre.
CAUTION!
A
Always make sure changing gears makes as little noise as possible and is
absolutely jerk-free.
CAUTION!
A
Make yourself familiar with the operation of your gears in a place free of
traffic and practise operating the shifters or the twist grips as well as the
brake system, before using your bike on public roads.
NOTE!
I
There are some multi-speed hubs where the effects of the back-pedal brake
depend on the selected gear. Read the gear manufacturer’s manual on
this SCOTT info CD carefully and make yourself familiar with the brake function
before using your bike on public roads.
NOTE!
I
Removing and mounting wheels is not the same as with derailleur gears.
With this fact in mind read the chapter “Repairing tyre punctures” and ob-
serve the notes given in the manual of the manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
Check, readjustment and maintenance
Multi-speed hubs require only little maintenance and need not be adjusted very
often. Check the chain tension
(a)
, in particular when removing and mounting
wheels, and read the chapter “Bicycle chain“.
If the indexed gear change does not work trouble-free, then contact your
SCOTT dealer.
Adjusting multi-speed hubs
Shift into the fourth (4th) gear. Look from above at the right-hand side of the
hub. There you can see two yellow markings. These two markings must be at
the same height
(b)
, i.e. they must produce a line.
Turn the adjusting screw at the shifter
(c)
until you get just one single line.
