9. Make sure the stem has no sharp edges on the contact area for the steerer or
the handlebar. This could result in serious accidents. In case you change your
stem to another model or brand please contact your authorized SCOTT/SYN-
CROS dealer. SCOTT will not be liable in case a not originally provided SCOTT
or SYNCROS stem is used on the bike assembly. In case of further questions

tributor of SCOTT/SYNCROS.

choose to use another manufactures product, make sure it is compatible with this
SCOTT/SYNCROS carbon fork. SCOTT assumes no responsibility for problems
resulting from none SCOTT/SYNCROS components.

Do not use more than 5 mm stack height of spacer above the stem between
