Front Fork Set-Up/Change Of Front Fork; Pivot Maintenance - Scott 2008 Bike Owner's Manual

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 to use front forks with a travel between
145-160mm, as this will not influence the geometry
and alter handling of the bike.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE

The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Ransom 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.
