Remounting The Wheel - Scott Road Owner's Manual

NOTE!
When mounting a tyre on a rim that has already been used, it may be
i
necessary to carefully remove glue residues and dirt with emery cloth. Be
careful not to damage the carbon material. When you are done, wipe the rim
with a soft cloth and acetone.
NOTE!
Before removing a wheel, read the chapters "Wheels and tyres" and "Using
I
quick-releases and thru axles".
NOTE!
If your bike has carbon rims, you have to use special tubular tyre glue (e.g.
I
from Continental). Be sure to read the manual of the manufacturer of tubu-
lar tyre glue for carbon rims on this SCOTT info CD before applying it.
NOTE!

REMOUNTING THE WHEEL

Mounting the wheel is done in the reverse order of dismounting. If necessary,
insert the brake discs between the brake pads. Make sure the wheel is correctly
seated in the drop-outs and accurately centred between the fork legs or the
seat and chainstays. Make sure the quick-release and the drop-out safety tabs
are correctly seated. For more information see the chapter "Using quick-releas-
es and thru axles".
Close the quick-release lever at the brake (Shimano, SRAM) (a) or shift the pin
in the brake lever/shifter unit on the handlebars (Campagnolo) (b).
If you have cantilever (c) and V-brakes (d) hook up the brake cable at the brake
arm. To do this, grip the rim with one hand and press the brake pads and/or
the brake arms together. In this position the usually barrel shaped nipple or the
outer cable can easily be engaged.

If you have disc brakes, check before mounting the wheel whether the brake
pads rest snugly in their seats in the brake calliper body. The gaps between the
brake pads and the wheel should be parallel and the wear indicators in their cor-
rect position. Make sure you guide the rotor carefully between the brake pads.
After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-release pull the brake lever
(several times, if you have disc brakes).
All brakes:
After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-release pull the brake lever
(e) (several times, if you have disc brakes).
Lift your SCOTT bike off the ground and spin the wheel with your hand. With
the wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake calliper or the
brake pads and the rim should keep off the (rim) brake pads.
DANGER!
If you have rim brakes, make sure you hook up the brake cable immediately
G
after the wheel mounting!
DANGER!
Before setting off again check that the brake surfaces and/or rotors are still
G
free of grease or other lubricants after the wheel mounting (f).
DANGER!
Check whether the brake pads hit the rotors or brake surfaces of the rims.

Make sure the wheel is properly seated and firmly fixed in the drop-outs. Al-
ways do a brake test as described in the chapter "Tests before every ride".
