REPLACEABLE DROPOUT

On Spark bikes of model year 07 you can replace the
rear derailleur hanger.
In case the replaceable hanger is damaged by a crash
or accident you can order at your local Scott dealer the
replacement part with Scott article number 206473
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 100mm,
as this will not influence the geometry and alter hand-
ling of the bike.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE:

The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Spark 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 swin-
garm you should contact your local SCOTT dealer as you
need special tools for disassembly and assembly
