BIKE OWNER’S MANUAL

ENGLISH
REAR DISC BRAKE MOUNT
Genius can be used with 3 different disc rotor sizes on the rear brake.
The rear disc brake on Genius is Postmount (PM) Standard on the left seatstay
and it is possible to use disc rotors with 180, 185 and 200mm diameter.
Please note that for the assembly
of 185 and 200mm rotors you might
need adapters/washers between
the PM port on the frame and the
brake calliper.
For 185mm rotor diameter you will
need 2 red anodized spacers that
can be ordered via the SCOTT dis-
tribution with:
For the use of 200mm rotors please use for SRAM/Avid: “+20mm” adaptor
Shimano: F180PP2
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 150mm (27.5”) and 130mm
(29”), as this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
For details on the technical length of the recommended forks please refer to
the Tech Info Chart before mentioned.
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius 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.
