It is important to understand the basics of riding a
bicycle, but it is equally important to exercise common
sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and
requires reacting to varying situations. Like any sports,
cycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing
to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that
risk.
If you have questions or problems regarding your new
SCOTT bicycle, please contact your Authorised Dealer.

(noise prevention mechanism)
If the chain is on the largest chain wheel and the largest
sprocket, the chain will rub against the front derailleur
plate. When this occurs, press lever b to the point
where it clicks, this causes the front derailleur to move
slightly towards the smaller chain wheel, thereby elimi-
nating the noise.
