Stem/Handlebar - Scott 2015 PLASMA 5 Owner's Manual

STEM/HANDLEBAR

Front & Rear Brake Cable Housing:
Cut the front brake cable housing to 35cm length. The final housing length may need
to be trimmed, based on the brand of brake levers.
Cut the rear brake cable housing to 150cm length. The final housing length will need
to be trimmed during the rear brake installation.
Run the front brake cable backward inside the front brake cable housing. Install the
front cable housing, from the rear side of the handlebar through the handlebar exit
hole, by first running the brake cable through the handlebar, then pushing the cable
housing through. The cable can be used to help pull the housing through as well.
Repeat for the rear cable housing, but through the top of the handlebar exit hole, at
the rear side of the handlebar. Make sure the cable housings stick out at the brake
lever end by about 50mm to engage the cable housing slot in the brake lever.
Front Derailleur (FD) & Rear Derailleur (RD) command wires:
IMPORTANT
for electronic shifting Route the front & rear command lever wires through the
handlebar Basebar long holes and out through the spacer base long holes. Do not
assemble the levers yet.
Front Derailleur & Rear Derailleur TT Extension Shifters:
route the Front Derailleur Shifter (Left hand side) wire through the extension slot and
route the wire out through the extension rear end. Connect the wire with a junction
box SM-JC40/41 and connect a COMMAND wire (approx. 150mm) with the junction
boxes SM-JC40/41.
Route the wire out from the side slot or from the rear part of the extension.
Repeat the process for the Rear Derailleur Shifter.
Handlebar/Stem assembly:
route the front brake cable housing through the stem (301A/B) M10 threaded hole.
Route the rear brake cable housing and the Front & Rear Derailleur COMMAND wires
through the stem body upper slot.
Position the handlebar on the stem body handlebar interface and pull gently the
cable housings and wires meanwhile to make sure they do are not bent or pinched
during the assembly.

IMPORTANT
Position the stem top cap over the handlebar: pay attention to the stem top
cap direction! The gap between stem body and stem cap should be approx.
3mm. If the gap is smaller than 2mm, the cap is in the wrong direction and
should be turned backside-front.
Position the four M5 head sunk screws (304) in their respective recesses and tighten
them to the specified torque (T2).
Once the Basebar brake levers are assembled cut the front brake cable housing so
that 25mm stick out of the stem M10 threaded hole and place a cable housing end
cap at the end of the cable housing.
IMPORTANT
Position the brake stop part (305) and tighten it to the low part of the stem at the
M10 threaded hole interface, a minimal amount of 6 turns of engagement should be
respected in order to engage enough threads to withstand the braking forces!
