Sheltering And Storing Your Scott Bike - Scott TIME TRIAL MACHINE Owner's Manual

SHELTERING AND STORING YOUR SCOTT BIKE

If you regularly look after your SCOTT bike during the season, you will not need
to take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart from secur-
ing it against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your SCOTT bike for a longer period of time, e.g. over the
winter months, please observe the following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to
gradually lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your SCOTT bike
is left standing on flat tyres for an extended period, this can cause damage to
the structure of the tyres. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire
SCOTT bike (e) or to check the tyre pressure regularly (f). Clean your SCOTT
bike and protect it against corrosion. Your SCOTT dealer offers a variety of care
products, such as spray wax etc.
Dismount the seat post and let dry away possibly penetrated humidity. Spray
a little finely atomized oil into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil
in a carbon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the smallest
sprocket. This relaxes the cables and the springs.
WARNING
Do not hang your SCOTT bike on carbon rims. Mount instead at least one
aluminium wheel.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are hardly any waiting times at your SCOTT dealer during the winter
months. In addition, many SCOTT dealers offer an annual check-up at a
special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your SCOTT dealer to do the
scheduled maintenance work!
