Saddle Adjustment - Fore-To-Aft Position And Horizontal Tilt - Scott TIME TRIAL MACHINE Owner's Manual

WARNING
Modifications in the area of the carbon forks are jobs which should be left to
a skilled two-wheel/bicycle mechanic. SCOTT therefore recommends that
you ask your SCOTT dealer to do any work on the carbon fork, whenever
necessary. Wrong processing and unfavourable stems may lead to break-
age. Risk of accident!
Sawdust from cutting carbon components has a reputation of causing can-
cer. Therefore, do not blow or sweep the dust off, but remove it with a moist
rag. Dispose of it immediately.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For all bikes with integrated stems or handlebars, consult with your author-
ized SCOTT dealer the exact process before disassembly and reassembling.
SADDLE ADJUSTMENT – FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND HORIZONTAL TILT
The inclination of your upper body (a), and hence your riding comfort and
pedalling power, are also influenced by the distance between the grips of the
handlebars and the saddle. This distance can be altered slightly by changing the
position of the saddle rails in the seat post clamp. However, this also influences
your pedalling. Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to the
back of the bike will alter how rearward the pedalling position of your legs is.
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the saddle
rail, i.e. on the straight part of the rail, never in the curved sections.
You need to have the saddle horizontal in order to pedal in a relaxed manner.
If it is tilted, you will constantly have to lean against the handlebars to prevent
yourself from slipping off the saddle.
WARNING
The bolted connections of the seat post have to be tightened to the pre-
scribed torque values (b). Use a torque wrench and never exceed the
maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter
"Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike", directly on the com-
ponents and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers.
