REAR DISC BRAKE MOUNT

Spark can be used with 3 different disc rotor
sizes on the rear brake.
The rear disc brake on Spark is Postmount
(PM) Standard on the left seatstay and it is
possible to use disc rotors with 160, 180 and
185mm diameter.
Please note that for the assembly of 180
and 185mm rotors you may need adapters/
washers between the PM port on the frame
and the brake calliper.

FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK

For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to
the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel of 150mm (27.5") and 130mm (29"), as
this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
For details on the technical length of the recommended forks please refer to the
Tech Info Chart before mentioned.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE

The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do.
We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the parts
which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service kit at
your local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as shown
above in the specs list in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your
local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
